Okay so the more I think about what happened with the "illustrator" the more it upsets me. I get a good vibe from this person and think maybe they are talented so I bring my manuscripts and some tschotkas for gifts to meet and discuss maybe collaborating. I go to the place the person recommends and the persons friends are in there watching me and it weirds me out. At some point person walks by outside and looks in the window and then decides to keep on walking. Okay end of story hey you dont wanna work on some good stuff and maybe get a publishing credit with me okay. A phone call that you couldnt make it with some lame excuse would have been nice or at least an email. I get nothing. Needless to say I am pissed off at the way this juvenile person who not that long ago wouldnt have even been walking around the LES behaved so I say she should check her diaper or some such similar nonsense. Next thing I know person throws down some diatribe in the chat where she says "I have been sexually harassed on the web before" Now, correct me if I'm wrong but I never sexually harassed this person and I dont think my diaper comment in any way rises to that level. So she has used the words sexual harassment in speaking to me. Hmmmmmm sounds like she's trying to say something. She spouts some inane drivel about how it was pouring and then further more starts spouting off some verbal diarrhea about how I wasnt offering to pay her up front like because that's what professional illustrators get and that I never said anything about that. I believe we did speak briefly about it and I was more than willing to go 50/50 on anything that resulted. Person never mentioned BS about payment up front prior and certainly had we met that would have been a good time to discuss it. Funny thing though.... LAST TIME I CHECKED FIRST YEAR ART STUDENTS AREN'T PROFESSIONALS THAT'S WHY THEY ARE FIRST YEAR ART STUDENTS. Would have thought this person (who I still think might be talented) would have been interested. I have known other people who went to her school in the past and some of them were really good artists later on....Another funny thing too is that I was interested in hiring this person to do some art for me for a another project. A couple of graphics for some posters and some other stuff but still a paid gig and one that I'm pretty sure will have plenty of visibility once it gets going. Then of course there was my favorite dig. About how I dont have anything in my profile and no pix and that I seem "creepy". That being the case why would you agree to meet me? Also I believe my profile is up on the site. Pics I think I talked about and yes when I have the spare time to get on the phone with Nikon and figure out WTF is wrong with my software I will put up but for everyone that doesnt know already. All the pics I have on my HD are too high res for SG. I dont know how to shrink them down since Im not running photoshop on this computer and frankly I never shoot pics in low res I always use higher res settings because I like to get good pics. I am however shooting some stuff in basic and will def start posting as soon as the software problem gets solved. Oh and then the first year student became deeply offended that I was cracking on her online SG handle. I didnt say anything particularly untoward and the person claims that I somehow cast aspersions on her credentials as an artist. Hmmmmmm. Yes some sets shot for SG I dont know which ones maybe they are good I really dont know and havent seen any of the alleged art. At any rate I'm eager to put this debacle behind me and hopefully find someone that is interested in doing some illustrations for these manuscripts that I wrote for my daughter Sage. Okay so person who flaked out no worries mama I've known lots of flaky artists hell it's almost a prerequisite (Im a little flaky myself) but going on the offensive and attacking someone by making really fucking unkool false allegations isnt being flaky it's being a little bitch.
Okay so on another note. YA-TA-HEY! It looks like blood brother is going to fire up his van and WELCOME HOME IS ALL I CAN SAY AND LONG OVERDUE AT THAT! I think that I will have to ask Brother Prehnite to intro me to legendary activist sooner than I was planning because he already has infrastructure and artists who can do the work that I am looking to do. I don't know if it's possible but would be nice to have some things ready in time for an imporant city event coming up. I do have some trepidation about the meeting would probably have sooner except as I said in earlier blog several persons who stood with legendary activist in the trenches in the early and earlier days were less then enchanted with him by the time they started walking different trails. I guess we'll see.
