That is quite true, friend #323. Everyone knows that the first 314 MySpace friends are really telemarketers or people trying to get you in on their pyramid scheme. Once those filter out, the real friendship comes along.
When are we going on another karaoke adventure?! (It's funny cuz you're sitting 10 feet away from me as I type this)
You should think about trying something new. If one looks at your paintings over time, all they see is great work over and over. Monotonous. Try making something crappy for once. It will shock your audience out of the beautiful complacency you have lulled them in to.
Pick up an eye patch, some ether, tape your fingers together and do a series based on the citizens of Zoobilee Zoo. The critics will go bat crap over it.
Your paintings are amazing dude. Your a huge inspiration!! We met really briefly a couple of years ago when I came over to the states with my animation studio from New Zealand... Mukpuddy! We came into Nick and had a tour of the MLAATR offices!! It was rad! Anyhoo, keep on truckin!!
Yo Alex! A huge congrats and I will definitely save the date. I've been friends with Leticia 4ever and she is definietly very special, and you're one lucky guy!
