Glad you liked the song. You know...there is a wide-spread misconception that love is black or white, or that being alone is a sign that there's something wrong with you. Isn't it okay to love being alone? Isn't it okay to want some sort of affection, but not neccissarily be gaga, head-over-heals, I'm-going-to-die-with-this-person in love? Nothing in life is black or white, this or that, it's fluid and organic and it grows and changes, so why do we think that love should be either forever, or nothing? I'm not a big proponant of casual relationships, and I'm anti open relationships (it may work for some, but not me)....but at the same time I don't understand how can "til death do us part" is possible.

Dramatic love is just two people feeding each others insecurities and weaknesses. People have widely mistaken codependance for deep Love. Oh gosh, I'm going to stop right here or I'll go on forever.

confession: the superpower theme in Demo was pure marketing. i never once set out to write that sort of series. some had them and some didnt. i always approached it from the angle of the 'fantastical' rather than the 'superhero'. but thats what the comics kids want, so we helped them see it.

checking out your work now. i like the ink drawings, especially the Dog Eat Dog. what do you paint in?

It really pops out at you! It has such a strong, bold look, my eyes are constantly drawn to the picture. The couple really jumps out at you. I almost want to tell them to get a room.

I'm amazed that you're using acrylic on such a large scale, do you use slow dry medium? A liquitex representative came to my school to do demos on their products, and all the odd things you never thought you could do with acrylic. They have some product that you can do transfers of printed material with. It's clear and you paint a layer onto a newspaper or what not and then peel it off and stick it onto your painting! She also had taken some thickly layered gesso, and sanded it down with fine sandpaper, painted it with paint mixed with high gloss medium and it was so smooth and shiny it looked just like a decorative tile! They also had extremely high viscosity paint that was so thick she had to spread it on like frosting, you could practically mold it. Neat stuff, thought you'd enjoy. Um...if not, I apologize for the lengthy ramblings of my art nerdiness.

I like your artwork. Your concepts are really cool.

I tried to look at your website, but for some reason there wasn't any scroll bars, so I couldn't see anything. But I like the pics you have up in your profile.

As far as the "procuring of the tattoo 'gun'", I really hope you follow the advice given to you in the tattoo group.
The tattoo industry really looks down on people that just go out and buy equipment and start tattooing without going through an apprenticeship first. In fact, most of the equipment you can get out of magazines, i.e. starter kits, are crap. A lot of supply companies won't even sell to you unless you can prove you work in a real shop.
My husband and I work for a tattoo magazine selling advertising. We don't accept ads from suppliers unless they follow the guidelines of checking out an artist/shop before they sell them the equipment.

Congrats on the website!!!!

mmmm lemonade

Sorry I haven't replied sooner.... I haven't been online much.


Have you tried doing your art projects with your son? Maybe give him a mini version of whatever you're doing? (What kind of art do you do?) I've started doing this with my daughter. I like to make hand-made dolls and the other day I let my daughter help me with one, I even let her do some of the sewing! It was fun, and a nice bonding experience.

Hay take out "guy" and "the" and I'll like it alot better

Thanks

LOL.....that's exactly it! Except I think I have washed away all regret about not looking back. I have my husband's family. They've practically raised me since I was 15. They are who I call my family now and those fights that you described where you fight and say "never again", but then come back.....I have those with my in-laws.

I guess it doesn't matter 'who' exactly your family is. As long as you have people that you consider family. In my case, it's someone else's that I use.

Oh, and good luck with the vain metrosexual thing.....that kind is hot.

ooohhh! you have no idea how much i want a scooter. i've wanted one forever. i would like a baby blue one with a matching cute helmet!

do you have a scooter?

and i love your pic up there. it's totally cool. you should do more of your art just for you. i bet it makes you all smiley.

hey! where'd you go?

yes ireally am that english haha, 100% just out side of london, and my teath are fantastic, its all a ruse the bad teath nonsence, but yes, i do like tea that much, i've been up since 9am here (its now 10.15am) and ive drunk 4 cups

tatoo wise though, i had to move it about a bit but my tatooest specialises in 50's rockabilly, (on at the big uk convention infact and offial tatooest for some rockabilly rave here in the uk) so i let him have leway with shadeing and placement, as otherwise if i made him do exactly what i wanted it may no look as good. i love going to his, his other stuff on me is fansatic!

ta ra, i'm off to drink tea and do englich things
