hey, it has noting to do with the stock market i don't think. but i am taking down my stock photos from this gallery at the end of the month of March 2009.

the experiment has probably run it's course. maybe some day i will share the findings.

i want to thank all those that have used my stock and have done some very interesting things, some nice art too. so thanks a lot, to you artists i really appreciate all the support.

and because of that appreciation i am making this announcement that if you want to use any of my stock now is the time. sometime during the first week of April i will be taking them away.

i will keep the account and will be interested to see what if any more art work is made using any of my poses.

it's been a good run,

thanks again.

winter was not that nice to me and spring is taking it own sweet time about really getting here and so were is the warm weather?
so any way... i was thinking as i was trying to get into shape enough to do some new poses. i was thinking why not embrace this hand that nature has dealt me and do something with it.
as i was riding my bicycle into town today to do some errands. oh did i mention i am riding everyday... gas is so ridiculous that i am only riding.
so yeah, i was riding back home and the thought struck me to do a series called something like "The Body that High Gas Prices Built"
i was thinking to take a photo or two at least once or twice a week. that way we can all watch what happens as i ride my bike every day.
could be interesting. no? maybe?
any ideas?

hey!!!!
i know, not a terribly original greeting anymore... but given this account, i thought it somehow still appropriate.
i just wanted to wish all my watchers and friends a happy and prosperous new year...
and don't be afraid to be as creative as you want to be.
let's not hold back in 2008.

Em (cordwainersmith) has created a masterful charcoal drawing of one of my poses... my hat and everything else for that matter is off to here for the amazing piece of art she has created. please visit her gallery and be sure and say hi. [link]

is my first featured artist here.... i am not sure how often i will do a featured artist, but Nanilli is most worthy.

this painting that she did from the stock in my latest set means an awful lot to me.

i hope you are as impressed as i am... please stop by her page and give her a big hug.
