The Myth of the starving Artist

Starvation, unfortunately, didn't improve art. It only hindered it. A man's soul was rooted in his stomach. A man could write much better after eating a steak and drinking a pint of whiskey... The myth of the starving artist was a hoax.

- Charles Bukowski, Factotum.

This network is in affiliation with Planet ArtVLOG 's Naked Artist Virtual Magazine and 'REMIXed', a new POWERPAINTER Studio project.

Message to our Members!

Dear Members of the Web Awakening Network, i just changed the sites settings: from now on unauthenticated visitors can only view the frontpage, people need to create an account before watching the rest of the site! It's an experiment to get more members, but if you, members, disagree because the profiles are inaccessable i sghall change it back and open up again!

Sincerely,

Marcus van Soest,
initiator of this network...

Why did I create this site? some history about my web movements.

Dear Visitors,

after i had a burn-out in 2007. 2006 had been a way too hectic year:

Dear Members and Vistors, this is a note from the site owner: it's a shame but some people try ton take advantage of Web Awakening Platform membership and put all kind of SPAMshit on the members profiles, which i have successfully removed! How low can you go, to try and place adds without my consent, trying to make money over our backs! The only reaction I can think of, is a block on people like that... Ning has a great tool for that: Block for SPAM. Easy Japanesy...This also notifies all other… Continue
