this is called ART. everybody has their own styles, and it's all free without any pressure. if this site is blocked, it's just the same as blocking bahraini's creativity and talents!
how could they (bahraini) improve their skills if their way is blocked?

there's no reason to block this site.

To think that any government would limit that is a travesty, especially as harmless as what deviantART contains.

I don't really understand on what basis DeviantART got blocked. There are a lot of talented artists who try to share their work with the world through DeviantART.

DA got blocked in the United Arab Emirates, however after sending emails to our service provider Etisalat trying to illustrate the very same reasons i mentioned above luckily it was unblocked again.

Please re-consider this matter as you would help a lot of artists to enhance and develop themselves.

Regards,
Asma

Also, if someone accidentally happens across this content who does not wish to view it, there is always the option for them to close the browser window.
