Hello my friends. It is always good to talk to you. It makes me feel good to share things with you. Lets see, above is a couple of illustrations that are for Logo's, but the bottom one I can't really say anything about at the moment, just show you. I don't want to spoil the surprise of for what it is for. It is for a good friend though, but she is on a trip and it may be a few days before she can check it out. The top one is the beginnings of "The Deadly Dolz" logo. I'm going to show you this one step by step, right now I am waiting to hear input from the DD'z themselves, and yes, I will post who the 3rd one is in a couple of days. Close friends of mine probably have already guessed who it is. She has modeled for me the last few years, and I love drawing and painting her. She is so wonderful to work with, as the other 2 Dolz. We have all became close here this last couple of months and that is why I know this is going to work. Each is a Star in their own right, but all 4 of us are working together as friends, equals toward a goal that we each believe in. It's very exciting and one of the main reasons I decided to give the model thing a second chance. All my long time friends and fans know what a disaster the Dark Angels was because of ego's. That's the thing that I still don't get. I took a group of unknown models and artist and formed the group, and each one thought they where a super star or some crap. Now I am working with true TV and Movie stars, and they are the most down to earth people you could ever hope to work with. I figure that the Dark Angels was just a warm up to teach me about how to go about this.
Life is being awesome to me now. Its not perfect, but I love everyday. I love getting up and working and being able to talk with my friends via Facebook or the phone. Finding an agent is really cool. I have been getting back awesome letters from the ones I contact, and very flattering I might add. I should make a decision on that in the next couple of months. I'm not rushing. I figure this is going to be like a marriage, so I want to get it right the first time around. I'm also figuring that the work I do through the agent, the Deadly Dolz, and the "Book of Rose" is going to keep me busy, and prosperous. One of the perks is that I am going to get my own publishing company off the ground after all these years. Yeah!!!
On the down side, we have a return stalker. I mean, I always have stalkers and I could care less these days. There was a time they use to bother me. Now when someone tries something, I play very hardball and make them regret it. So, if they decide to bother me, they only do it once. The stalker I am referring to, we know who he is, we have his address, phone number the whole 9 yards, but he's about as bright as a dead light bulb. This thing with him all started because i refused to do a project with him because of his total lack of respect of women, and I had brought a few of my women friends into the project until this guy showed what a piece of sh@t he truly was. I got my friends out of the mess, and then told this clown to drop dead and never contact me again.
Since then, he has done everything including stealing my art, claiming he did it. But the thing that really pisses me off, once he realized he couldn't touch me, he started threatening Madison. Now I don't care who you are, you know that is taking something to far. He is going to get what he deserves, we've already seen to that, but I just can believe that someone would threaten one of my loved ones because I refuse to play ball with them. That is one of the main reasons I decided to get a agent because, unless it is an old friend or a very respectable publication, I will not deal with them directly, they will have to go through the agent. By doing that, hopefully it will put an end to me or my loved ones having to deal with idiots.
So in case you where wondering, that is one of the big reasons I decided to get an agent. Ahhhhhh, Friday night. That means Nick gets a 6 pack! I sure do look forward to that at the end of a week, but of course my weeks never end it seems. Unless I am very sick, I am always in the studio. If not here, then I am watching a movie on that awesome TV Madison has. It's one of those flat screen deals, and plenty large! Old movies look great on it. Speaking of Madison, she is sleeping late today, but her and her work buddies had drinks this morning after work. When she got home, she was pretty happy to say the least. lol She works very hard and she deserves to have a good time with her buddies. Since I've been with her, this is the first time that her and her buds went to a bar after work. That's kinda strange. She gets off at 7 am, heck I ain't even out of bed by then! lol. But if I worked 3rd shift, I would do the same I am sure.
I really love my new studio, even though there seems to be a nest of these ugly,black, hairy spiders that about the size of a quarter. I can't find them anywhere, but my hero, our fearless cat, Misty, has new dead ones in a pile for me every morning in front of my chair. take goodness, because if i saw one of those things crawling on me, i would probably have a cow. There can't be many left at the rate she has been going, so needless to say, she has been getting lots of treats, hair brushing and love. The only thing that worries me is when I do start a oil painting (I'm still thinking of an idea. I am really wanting to go in a different direction when I paint with oils.) is the cat hair flying around. If it gets on the painting, or in the pallet, I don't know how to get rid of it. Any suggestions from fellow cat owners out there?
Well my friends, I am signing off to get a little more work done tonight. I hope you all have a awesome weekend! Peace and Blessings, and "May the Darkness comfort You"
