Tis The Season

Hello dear friends and artists of DA.

Firstly, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has added my page to their watch lists. Your love and support is fuel to creative fire, and I can't wait to grow as an artist with you.

As the Holiday season comes to a close, I can't help but be nostalgic about 2010. Over the past four seasons life has had is ups, downs, and HUGE gaps in the road.

Last November (2009) I was diagnosed with a central nervous system disease. Being used to working 16 hour days, plus the seemly endless amount of social get togethers, the bed rest that my specialist had recommended was a tough pill to swallow. I was forced to quit my job, and due to a massive list of food allergies, that make me unable to attend social get togethers, my days were getting lonelier, and harder to face.

In May 2010 some light appeared to break through the spiral. My sister from another Mr and I reconnected, over peanut shells and gin and tonics. She had gone through some medical hurdles as well. We talked until we were both hoarse, and left the pub with the promise to make more of an effort to keep in touch.

It turned out that she is now living up the street from my partners apartment. This past summer we enjoyed many a late night wine fueled chat on his roof top patio, and bonded even further over things that you can only talk about with certain people.

One night she asked if I would like to tag along on a shoot with her, which was at her moms house on Vancouver Island. I had done a couple of shoots between march and June, to get out of the house, but had always secretly wanted to shoot with my friend...You know her on here as Escura. This is how I became a deviant.

That weekend I met another fabulous model, and woman Isis Noir. And had the pleasure of having the wonderful hands of Carolina Jean Webber work their magic to make me look like a model. Plus I also was given the opportunity to work with the very patient Ken Nash, and the fun loving energetic Norman Whaley.
I've been lucky enough to work with a few other photographers, MUA's and some of the best models in the bizz since then, thanks in LARGE part to Escura, Norm, Ken, Isis, and Cj.

I look forward to exploring all aspects of imagination, and expanding my minds eye with all of you. I will continue to do my best to do different themed shoots, to keep things interesting

Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night.
