Is it alright to use your photos as drawing reference as long as you are credited?

It was so kind of you to invite me to your show on facebook! I'm sorry that I'm too far away to attent. Though I'm sure it will be rockin'!

Also, happy belated birthday Adam!!!

You have been mentioned in my journal here: [link]

It was a journal dedicated to talking about artistic nude or soft porn.

Just informing you since I did use your photo as an example.
Have a nice day!

Nice work. Enjoyed the spiders a lot, and the velvet ant. I only just saw / shot my first one of them this past spring. We seem to shoot a lot of the same sorts of things - only you actually shoot photos of people it seems. Something I have been avoiding for some reason.

Cool gallery. I love your arachnids, especially.

Where in New Orleans are you? Are you a native? I love this city, couldn't live anywhere else...ever again.

If you ever get stuck on the twinspan (or do it on purpose when they're working on it) heading back to the city, look at all the thousands of spiderwebs along the guard rails on the sides.

mantispid In reply to shadycharbonnet [2008-01-24 06:28:33 +0000 UTC]

I live in the LaPlace area, about 25 miles west of downtown. I'm not a native... I moved here in 2005, before Katrina. I've been here since! I'm looking forward to anothe Mardi Gras.

I'll definitely take a look at the webs on the twin spans when next I cross them.

corruption and free will? hmm...

that book is a strange thing to find, is somebody a fan?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

mantispid In reply to gioiar [2007-06-27 06:13:26 +0000 UTC]

Actually, it is my wife's book. I was unpacking some of her things and putting them up on shelves, and noticed the book.

I've met a person who has become a friend, who happens to be an art major... another friend mentioned that her art reminded her of Egon's.

So.. when I saw that you were a fan, I thought it rather odd that I had only heard of Egon Schiele a week previously, and now I was seeing his works and references to his works all over the place.
