Welcome to our July Feature! If you're looking for a hideaway from the summer heat or something to read besides those beach magazines, we've got the perfect remedy for you. Our staff has scoured the deviantART pages for the best of the best, and as always, we've assembled them by word count for your convenience!
We're especially proud of our Published Work feature this month, and if you'll take a look at the author, you'll see why. Now get reading!

Meet Our Contributors: well-moistened
Even if you are new to the deviantART community, chances are you've encountered well-moistened! He's something of a jack of all trades, sporting an impressive visual gallery that ranges from Photojournalism to Experimental Photography (and, or so we've heard whispered, perhaps the odd work of literature ).
well-moistened is also an established presence in the dAmn scene and tirelessly supports both the Photography and Literature communities. He joined our team in November 2007 to head up our Sociopolitcal, Philosophical, & Transgressive section, and has stuck with us since!
Here are just a few examples of the visual work well-moistened brings to deviantART:
