this is being considered for a book cover-horror- the story isnt finished yet and won't be out until oct-2009- a ghost of a girl in the woodlands a haunting-combination photo overlay and coloring-I also have a few more different and also being greatly considered for inside book cover -we may go color or black and white -

Charlotte, this is fantastic news, I wish you luck, I know that you've worked hard on getting to this point, and have produced a fascinating image to go with the theme of the book, well done, I'm so impressed...

thank you so very much-a lot of blood sweat and tears of work
this is also being considered for inside illustration-the author is liking the black and white
as more haunting-the little girl ghost is inside the forest trees- again thank you!

Hi Charlotte,

I feel so happy for you to see results from your efforts at independent creativity. I have always been puzzled but steadfast in my belief in your talent. Either I'm naive, (which is sometimes true) or a visionary, (I dream of that possibility but hardly can say so!)

It's a hard knife edge sometimes between insight and insanity, delusion or being informed and well ahead of the pack. Is this work meaningless doodling? That's what I ask myself harshly with my own compound images. Or, perhaps,r is it directed or else discovery from inspired doodling and design? The latter has been my impression and I believe that's what's going on with your work. Being able to walk in such places is tough; being competent to criticize the work often as taxing. I want to understand and encourage but not put you off balance! When they finally accept your work we'll really celebrate as the market will have started to speak! When that happens we have to listen.

thank you for coming by to let me know your ideas and what you think- the latter black and white is a combo of two photos and my distinct way with color-this one is a for sure for the inside cover- but as I said I am still working-I would not consider you naive at all- this digital photography is becoming quite the thing and gives me so much more of a creative outlet-
there is so much to discover every day-have you heard of scott stulberg- we ar e becoming fast friends and I greatly admire his digital work-he is in alaska now for a couple of weeks on a shoot-
and I mean to learn from him-
I think my work is inspired,directed and much more "a passion" I so appreciate your belief in my talent-I work hard to always make it much more

Charlotte,

I know his work. I like his capture of the faces of children and then scenes of the water or ruins from a distance. How did you meet him? I'm interested to know how old he is and if he has a studio near you?

if not look him on google-


see if this link works- he is young late 30's-40ish- I sent him some of my very best overlay work he
he very much liked them and said he had never seen any thing like them before
so we just started talking about art and you know how that goes-off and running
He also co runs Macintosh art and design for Apple Santa Monica

Charlotte-
