in the search box.
Preview the book....buy the book..... ENJOY ART FOREVER

http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/4661041-carbon-footprint-of-art-photography

My latest collaboration has long been overdue but has finally matured into
a working model for future photographers and artists alike.
A great friend and photographer/artist from the United Kingdom and
I have finally teamed up to produce our carbon footprint of art and photography.

The well known and respected Cheirodon and his work is well documented
in illustrating and complementing my own style of work that it was just a
matter of time before "minds across the ocean" finally
worked in harmony, proving such cooperation from different cultures and
lifestyles is more than possible.

Our first book is out on Blurb and is 130-pages packed with visionary works,
many of which have never been released before and forms the backbone of our
global assault on cooperation between likeminded people.
Our future carbon footprint is available today for tomorrow's artisans.

Contents include 130-pages, 70-images and around
16,000 text words that is fully indexed.

M A N I K  : The Armies Of The Night album is out.
One from the many reviews (exclaim.ca)
By Sarah Ferguson
The latest release from Josh Wink and King Britt's Ovum imprint launches with airs of street wisdom via samples from 1979 cult film The Warriors. Songs such as "My Hood ― Armies of the Night" and "We're From Coney" link to that cult flick about NYC's underground gang world, while Manik's mid-tempo deep house with breaks acts as a solid audio root structure for the inner city vibe sprouting throughout. The Queens, NY native has a strong ability to create emotion from sound, as demonstrated by "Don't Stop Don't Run," a tense track opening with a wavering siren, then moving into a motion of drum noises and vocals saying "not to stop, not to run and not to hide." Beautiful transitions exist amongst the songs. Hype vocals and jazz horns decorate steady urban beats on "Nightfall," while deep house synth rhythms spread warmth amongst the soulful vocals on "Lose My Mind," "Delorean Soho" and "Talk To You." Manik extends devotion to the streets via an urban sound sophistication that's equal parts deep and funky.

My "Mural Studio" is closed. The town bought the building where
I rented the studio.
Thank you to all who helped me to create some of the best images in this beautiful room.
This is the mural I painted for the building between 2005-2008. Size approx. 30 feet by 7 feet.



**********************************************

ATTENTION CLIENTS:
Please email your inquiries to [email protected]
with all the relevant information (artistic idea, time, place, specials )


If you are looking for a TF session you must have recommendation
from a reputable photographer/artist besides fitting into one of my
projects that are under development.
( If I contact you for TF it means TF. It clears your way to the studio.
I am not interested in the line up of boobs but rather and most definitely
in characters with brain.

I am obviously very modest and very beautiful and very brilliant and....
I..I.....I am a very excellent artist, one of the very best in the East. Really.
ohhh  whatever...
I am passionate and enthusiastic towards all kind of art.
I respect my peers and my fellow artists and all who are truly into creativity.
In good days, I even able to respect almost all the human beings.... (though always yield to animals...dogs..)

Good luck, and God blessssss..

                                    * * *
If all goes well..... and we will meet at the first time
please dont feel overshadowed by my utter beauty,
.....please just dress casual for the event.

*****************************************
I dont believe that creating art or expressing thoughts have to be tasteful.
The meaning of tasteful always different
in every society and in every era.
So don't be bothered with the pressure being "tasteful" by your present surroundings. Change it if you wish.
(Can you imagine having miniskirts in the Victorian era?
...or ..Is there a thong under the burka?... I don't think so.
If yes there is a thong, well, it would just prove how schyzophrenic the situation is...)
We all know equally what is good and what is bad to not hurt others existence. Live and let live.
It is called the manner of behavior of living side by side in a society.
But "taste" is sooo personal... be who you can be, with your own tastebuds.

" He is a man of great common sense and good taste,
        meaning thereby a man
        without originality or moral courage" 
      ( George Bernard Shaw )


**********************************************
*****************************************
RULE #1 :
Don't say you care, 'cause then I tend to take you seriously.
..and I know you don't give a damn.
Just lie to me that you love my art and therefore you love me,
and tell me how brilliant I am ))
blah blah blah.... and then we are okay.
See...I make it easy for you.

Oh well, I am a generous man.  Seriously.

Sometimes I don't like Uncle Jamie...  ...but why do you hate Uncle Sam?


IMPORTANT (repeating again)

"It is good taste, and good taste alone,
that possesses the power to sterilize
and is always the first handicap
              to any creative functioning"

I do art because I have passion for it.
My passion is creating while listening to music.
I do paintings not just photography. I hope that the
music I listen to and my ability to paint reflect
in my photographic images as well.

The entire sum of existence is the magic

(Quote from a Chinese Fortune Cookie)
***************************************
Well, most of you dont care about all the details
of crap..of how artists deal with creation, dont feel bad.
Life is short, and then we die.

However to the one who does really care:
Your unconditional support makes
my art happen.
Your influence on Modern American Art
are noted in the chapters written about me.
You know I'm talking about you...
It's too bad you afraid to leave a tag.
********************************************

*********************************************
No TF unless I offer because I imagine that you
would fit in my projects somehow...


To the few, (you know who you are): you have my cell number, call...text...knock...

To the rest: have fun, and leave msg and
I will return it while the paint getting dry...
.......see ya later.

Model and web designer Jennifer (MM # 537118 ), one from the HDL line
became the owner of Kushlife... a Canadian fashion and apparel company
in Toronto. She is a vibrant, perfect , amazing fashion person...born to rule the world.
...and NO, I do not sell, show or publish any of  the images I created
without the permission of the participants.

I don't like people who are ignorant and flake.
I don't like the "mass of people" because I did find that
whenever many people gathered, they could have been easily misguided
by one of their loud ones ( Nero, Hitler,  Stalin, Mao, Yoko Ono......
okay, okay...I was joking about Yoko....        not...lol)
I respect the individual in every living creature.

Within my ability I always try to help my
models to achieve their goals and help them to climb to the top.

HOWEVER: If I don't know you and you
haven't taken the time to contact me
in some way don't send FRIEND REQUEST,
I will DELETE the request anyway...

....And please don't tag saying only
"Thank you"...or 
" Thank you for your comment, you are also beautiful.."
...send a postcard instead.
If you want to boost my ego with "meaningful" thoughts, like
"You are the best" ,
or " Your work is phenomenal"
or " I am soo much in love with you
that I want to marry you".....
These would be all welcome because
these are tag worthy thoughts...  lol...... )

...or just send a check or money order
to your favorite charity, me.
(and to all: if you leave comments on the pictures that I did for
models, it will show appreciation and acknowledgment for their
great work, they deserve it)
