Ah.  Mom.  You're here.  You're you.  I'm happy.

Yeah.  I'm the biggest nutcase this place has to offer.  Thank you so much for the car help.  As of today the Shit Mobile is being called the Shit MoPhenoix (sp?). She's risen from her ashes and actually mobile! :D

HOW  ARE YOU, DAD, AND THE GIRLS?????????  Of COURSE YOU'RE SPECIAL!!!  And you're no 'short bus' lady!!! 

Yeah.  I'm the emotional basket case.  Alway have been, since get-go in '98...  Don't wanna get TOO weepy and guishy, but always been the guishy 'love glue' that's stuck us together.  Always will bee.  My fault; my strength. Those that need it take it.  Those that dislike it, ignore it.

New folks here may snot know... But thanks to The 'Crew, you and I obtained employment.

God bless each and every one of us, and all that we give to the total - that what we can, when we can, to the extent we can.

We are the Best.

  • sniff* I love youze, man! *sniff* Dudes, I gotta give up the coke, ya know? *sniff* (REALLY kidding!) News update There's been no change in my Dad. They're talking about a feeding tube.
    However! I got real brave and called Meshbesher &Spence, and after I told them a brief version, they brought it to the table, ans Mr Spence himself is driving all the way up to Ely to meet with my mom on Friday. He sees this as a valid case. (and him being from Duluth gives him roots up north.)
    Thank you all so very, very much for the thoughts, posts and prayers.
    I promise not to wallow in this, and am anxious for the first clue.
    I also vow to keep my silliness up to par during noodle time.
    Thanx again! (and thanks for the call Green, it was just what I needed, just when I needed it.)

    Anderson Windows? I know some folks there. Why?

    She again said that she was so glad she'd met The Cooler and while she felt bad that she 'dumped,' it felt so good to do so to with those that understand her/her situation.

    KT do not feel bad that you "dumped on us". That is what freinds are for!

    When or IF any of you die will you please make sure you have designated anything St Paul historical to the RAMSEY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETYand NOT the MN Historical Society? It is sooo agrivating to see people think they are doing something great by sending their items there! The MNHS people are conceited and all the good stuff is kept in archives that will NEVER see daylight!

    People just don't know about the Ramsey location. :( ...I refer you to todays newspaper: Man finds State Capitol photos in trash 50 years ago! WHAT THE HELL WAS SOMEONE THINKING TO EVER THROW SOMETHING LIKE THAT AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE? OMG!!!!!!!!!! Now that "find" is a treasure to behold-I would just about kill to have that photo album!

    I have been trying to get in touch with this artist rep he sent me this today.

    Hi Russell,

    Thanks for the email. I just looked at your art a little closer...and it
     resembles a guy we are representing right now. Thought you might like to see
     some of his work. I would say that your style is very marketable but at this
     time we would not be able to represent you.

    http://www.lavasseur.com/port.html

    http://www.spectrumstudio.net/test/lavasseur.html

    Couple things you will have to do is basically do all new illustrations. You
     probably will not be able to use any of your school projects to market
     yourself. I would focus on doing just the artwork with out any type or ads
     to go along with them. You could salvage some of your best pieces but take
     out the ad stuff. Example: Harley Davidson - If you notice Mike's
     work....it's just art. If you have copy and ad stuff on them...it looks like
     work from school. You want to show the client that you have been doing this
     a long time....know what I mean? Even if you haven't been.

    I would say you should do at least one new sample a day. That way - in
     90-days you will have a bunch of new work to show. It could be as little as
     a strawberry or two.....to a pile of grapes. Just as long as your doing
     something everyday to build your portfolio. I would also suggest doing
     animals- such as monkey's, dogs...cats etc. let your imagination run wild.

    Food, animals and product are big money makers. Products such as new
     technology....i pods, new I mac G5's, cell phones - Like the new razor from
     Cingular. Check that bad ass cell phone out...nice!!!

    Another idea.... do some baby toys or illustrate your 3 month old. The work
     that you are showing now is kind of dark and scary. Most art directors want
     fun, bright colors. Not all, but most! if you do 90 pieces in 90 days you
     will know your style when you are finished....then you can take 90 days off
     if you want. Those are a few of my suggestions. Hope they help!! not trying
     to be a tough guy...but if you want to succeed you are going to have to work
     really hard!

    I would make a list of 90 things...and check them off as you get them done.
     You can do 2-3 in a day.

    We can still meet up next Wednesday if you want but I would rather meet with
     you in 90 days to see where you are at. When we meet we could brain storm
     how to get some work and I could give you a couple different people to talk
     with. Most of the artists right now have day jobs...and do illustrations for
     us on the side. So it is really tough to make it.....so you have to work
     really hard!

    Let me know if you have any questions...or call me if you want some ideas to
     illustrate up. Talk to you soon.
