Paul Louis Vil...
Thanks so much Lisadee and Cathleen!
Fun stuff like this?
Yep, it is fun… take into consideration it was close to 3am… Jo was freezing… she was also completely covered in grease and muck from crawling around in the upper level of this work station… it’s very satisfying from my perspective as an artist to see the final result and also to work with someone who is open to ideas and has about twenty thousand ideas of her own!! LOL!
Paul Louis Vil...
Thank you kindly Christine! :D
Dan Cahill

Paul Louis Vil...
Fantastic comment Rhana!! Loved it! Thanks so much! :D

I find this very compelling – I love the combination of grit, grim, heavy machinery and Jo’s sensuous yet powerful stance. the colours also combine grit grime and brightness. the killer for me is the bright red heels! Fabulous work both of you. As for just “going click” . . . LMAO!
Sazzart
To buff or not to buff – Great capture & concept!
daftnation
just a heads up im not sure if your giving your music away for free or if you were just unaware but you should only upload a 30-45 second portion of your songs to the e-net, i totally used mp3mymp3.exe to get hard copies of your music for my ipod but just tellin yah so you can prevent the next guy ya know. anyways good stuff.
daftnation
o nvr mind ic you meant to do that, if i would have known i could have just downloaded them straight up i wouldnt have gone through all the trouble anyways good stuff
