and in other news, I am working on the gallery rather a lot so things will be shuffling and sorting out I hope, to make things easier to find in this eclectic mass of imagery.

April 4th:
Page views really are not very indicative of any thing, since they only actually show unique views of your home page and many folk in their following of your work end up just going straight to your gallery. Still, its a milestone of sorts and a nice bit of an event to celebrate for spring.

So, to each and all, I thank you for the support, the interest and the many wonderful and unique spirits that have contributed to my work, been willing to be nude in front of my camera or share your selves with me in my images, and all the artists and models that inspire, drive and push me to create.

With much gratitude,

As many of you know I have an extensive involvement in the online community Second Life and a number of my works have come from within the virtual world that has been built there by artists and community from all over the world. My primary avatar there is a large Phoenix dragon which I built on the base of a wonderful dragon by Daryth Kennedy, and quite a few friends here on DA are also there, and especially at the Dragon Lands of the Isle of Wyrms, where one can actually be, fly and live as, a dragon. Today I sign on to find this beautiful and amazing piece of art done of me and ~flufdrax in our IOW avatars.



A definite must see!! and I thank her with all my heart.


My dearest and bestest friend in all the world. Wonderful talent, such marvelous fingers, and really, an incredible model. If there is one spirit in this world that is perfectly matched, its you.

Such a gorgeous lass, and happy too, bubbling with joy at the world, and just as happy getting naked for a photoshoot or sitting in a flowerbed trying to photograph an insect pollinating the blooms. You bring a lot of joy to many people my friend, and I am ever so pleased to have met you.

Oh my, dear Fiona. Now there is a pixie if ever there could be. Mischievous, and full of fun, a wonderful stock artist, and a truly delightful performance artist too. The most wicked sense of humor and never a dull bit about her. Simply huggable and I would drag her out for a week of shooting at the slightest provocation.

Adorable, lovable, and simply sweet. One of the people I would set up in my Bookstore / cafe / coffee shop residence as a permanent artist and model, she is a wonder at her art, a delight as a work of nude art herself, and an inspiration and muse. The tolkien thing is a pure bonus.

Talent and sheer persistence. Beautiful lady if you have never seen her actual photo, you certainly should, but also a wonderful artist, and one that works as hard as any stevedore or lumberjack at her craft. She certainly deserves every success and accolade she receives, and I heartily endorse her work.

What can I say about Jess. Immensely talented, yet still, one of the hardest working artists I know. A delightful and sometimes darkly witty mind, but also a warm and dedicated soul that would do anything for her friends, no matter what. To you my friend, a glass of Berry Wine, to be shared in a glade full of your butterfly and pixe dragons.

Renee, quite probably the most world renowned model I have had the pleasure to work with. Very down to earth, beautiful in body and mind, and a genuine, sincere and gentle soul. If I had a daughter, I think I would want her to be just the same. She has been all over the world, worked with many many top photographers and yet, is exactly that gentle girl down the road that brings flowers to grandma's table.

Delightful weirdness with a bit of twisty humor. I think I was the first artist she worked with nude and its been quite intriguing to watch her journey in all her ups and downs. Not an easy life by any means, but a real get in the mud and muck and get it done kind of spirit. I think she will accomplish anything she really sets her mind to.

Dear friend and delightful lass, she created my logo for my studio and has been the model for several of my works. Very gifted and a simply beautiful surfer lady.

A kindred spirit, I think that says it all. Always I am blown away by her creations and delighted by her viewpoints.

Marvelous little dragon friend, a very cute and brilliant model, and an exploring mind.

Multi talented, and a beautiful classical model, she is an artist in the old school, with tradition and grace, she brings out handiworks, sketches, paintings, and photography that would be at home in any grand artist's loft. A lovely friend I hope to develop further ties with.

Such a dear and delightful lady. An expression of freedom and personal power that is astounding. Her rock climbs are fabulous, her nudes are elegant and classic, and her expression of her spirit is a guide to any woman to find herself.

Quite possibly one of the most talented visionary artists I know. Her works are more than on a par with any thing I have seen by anyone, anywhere. If there is an artist that sees into the many universes of eternity, she is one of them.

A spirit on a journey. Unique visions in her art and a true shaman finding her way to her own power.

Talented, a really gorgeous nude, but far more, a bright and happy spirit in the deep north. One of those friends at a distance that you hope to meet and go make naked snow angels with.

/ A unique and very giving, talented and very lovely lady, open of spirit, deeply caring for her friends, and one of the most generous people I know.

An openly adventurous and willing model that is an excellent belly dancer, great fun, and perfectly happy to get naked in the most interesting sorts of places.

Inki is my choice for dressup / make it yourself / propmistress. Makes the niftiest outfits, props and toys and quite happily shows them off modeling them. Down to earth with an imagination that wanders the stars. Friend and soon to be a nifty muse too.



scribbles self a note to get this thing finished!! And mutters about work still be finished and uploaded...
