There are so many great events planned in the next few months!
I can not wait to share them with you.
For example, zombies, snow, vintage cars, urban chic, and maybe even water!!

Keep your eyes posted for my new creations!

I am writing this to maybe get a better idea of why I was just called an A$$hole!
~sheriselitz , who is a 3 week member here on Deviant Art wrote to me to tell me, what I am posting is not Art.
I explained to her that I was showcasing my poses and that in my opinion, modeling is like acting. And I think acting is art.
I also mentioned "for goodness sake dont be rude"
Her reply "Like it said it is NOT art!!!! It is just photos of you,this a artplace duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
MY reply "Is acting ART? Its an opinion. Thank you for yours, mine is that it is ART. Go spew your illiteracy elsewhere."

Then I checked her profile to find out if maybe she was an awesome artist and just trying to get noticed.
I found this fav.me/d4jxqkd  &nbs… this fav.me/d4ji0fx  oh and this fav.me/d4j8vk9

Shortly after I found her comment on my profile of "Asshole"
My Reply "To the below comment, on which I cannot reply because you blocked me, which is indeed a great way to end a conversation, Thank you! You are so sweet! Merry Christmas!"

She did indeed block me.

My question is this:

Am I really offending that many people by posting pictures of myself taken by other artists?
I believe a good picture of a subject is a 2 part collaboration. I work hard to create a look or pose.
I feel as though I should be able to showcase that work.
I am not trying to sell it, just showcase it. Am I doing something wrong?
Please feel free to be brutally honest.
Thank you!

This has been a whirlwind experience for me. Modeling. Who would have thought after having a child and moving to a small town that I would get back to it? In New York, it made sense. Here in Washington, not so much! But here I am, and the offers are rolling in. So I will go on this ride and see where it goes. I have already met some super talented photographers who have helped me expand my looks and my poses. Thank you to everyone who has made it possible for me to take a new direction!

I made this profile so I could display my favorite photos of myself.
Most of my work can be found on Kurts Stolen Moments here on Deviant Art.
He is amazing! Check him out!
