New stuff, naked stuff and ropes. +EDIT

Journal Entry: Tue Jul 22, 2008, 4:10 PM



<EDIT>
I just found something really fucking weird. Someone on MySpace is using my name, but with an underscore - rockstar_vanity - for their MySpace URL, and using the name without an underscore as their username. What the fuck is up with that?

I'm not getting all pissy cause someone is using the same screen name as me. I'm talking about the name under which my business operates, the name on my fucking bank account. Before I started using it for anything I did seriously extensive searches to check no-one else was using it.

Which means that some smart cookie has decided that it would be a great idea to use the name that another person not only uses for a whole bunch of stuff online but also operates a business under. Is it just me or is that a bit odd? Why would anyone want to do that? What's the point?

File under 'stupid', 'weird' or 'asshole'?
</EDIT>

I finally got around to making new journal CSS which, as simple as it is, totally busted my head. I've been meaning to do it for ages, yet no matter how long I left it, I still didn't magically start talking CSS. No amount of tutorials seem to help. I just can't get my head around this stuff.

I spent most of the last couple of days setting up my photo blog on WordPress, something else I'd been meaning to do for ages. It's all done now, so you can read it, blogroll it and subscribe to RSS.

Not much to report from Rockstar-land. I'm about to go and get myself clean and human looking for a meeting with the rope master who's doing the bondage/suspension stuff for me for a shoot in September...bit excited about that!

Hope you guys are all having a great start to your week!






This entry's features come from the winners of the Forbidden Gaze: Male Art Nude contest. Big Congratulations to =Divadlo (winner), *GABOGRAFICO (runner up) and =NuclearSeasons (people's choice).



Regular unknown/new artist features will resume in the next entry.










Goodies from my dA Print Store.



I also have a much bigger print store (literally hundreds of photos) at Fotki. Prints are priced the same as on dA - from £0.97/$1.95 for a 4x6 inch print to £24.92/$49.95 for a 20x30 inch print (on paper).








My first book, Violently Beautiful, is now for sale through Blurb. It's a full-colour 80 page retrospective with my work from the first three years of my career spanning the genres of alternative fashion, fetish, modern pin-up, horror, portraiture and conceptual art. There are two versions, a 7x7 inch paperback Original Edition and an 8x10 inch hardback Deluxe Edition.

I know...that picture just blows me away. I look at it at least once a day and have done since I first saw it here and it never fails to make me happy. D managed to find a video of Patton and the Metropole Orchestra performing 1950s/60s Italian pop songs at a theatre in Amsterdam. I would watch it on repeat 24/7 if I didn't have to work or eat or shower.

that is weird, shes actually on DA too if you read her profile, maybe you should note her? I'll note you with her username so no one flames her
...maybe she just didn't check for other people with that name?

You can always write them a cease and desist message.

If you word it like it's real, you'll be surprised what you can do.
