If you want to contact me for any reason:

On this site using notes or comments.

www.paulrokicki.com <- Site is OFFLINE indefinitely. Domain is still mine.

Youtube <- I use this the most. Comment on one of my videos if I fail to reply to you here.

Facebook <- Deactivated February 2024. Meta is an evil company and does not give a crap about you. They just want to make money with ads.

Twitter <- I don't use this much.

Special thanks to all who read this and faved any of my deviations. Unfortunately I no longer thank people for faves as to me this activity has an empty feeling associated with it. I do appreciate if you fave anything of mine though. Instead of thanking me for faving something of yours, browse through my gallery and comment on stuff you like. That seems to make more sense. I try to do the same.

Some “do's" and “don'ts”

I don't care about pageviews !

I don't reply to people who fave for pageviews.

I don't care about llamas so if you give me one I will not waste my time giving one back.

I don't thank for faves but I appreciate them. (as of Nov 2011)

I do fave only if I like your deviations, not for any other reason.

I do show art I faved in "Random Favourites" on this page to promote those artists.

I don't beg for points.

I do respect everyone. If you disrespect me I will let you know.

I do form my own opinions which may be different than yours.

I do answer all comments (unless you spam me with pointless crap).

I do write things that some people may not like. But I'm honest.

Also:

Example: If I see that you are a dA member for a month and given 5000 faves then there is a good chance you are doing it for pageviews and not because you appreciate art. True artists will get exposure because of their unique and quality art and not from faving other peoples work just to have those people visit their page and thank them and get their pageviews artificially increased.

Please don't fave anything of mine unless you genuinely like it. Thank you IF you find my photos good enough to fave.

I respect everyone here so please respect me and my work and do not use anything in my gallery in any way unless you contact me and I give you written permission. If you do choose to disrespect me you can be sure I will let you know. You are however encouraged to comment/criticize my photos. This is after all how we improve our skills!

Thank you.
