i'm in the process of collecting work for a feature (celestial art- feel free to show me some if you want a feature), but it'll take awhile and i think my journal's due for a change. so in the meantime, i want to feature a few friends of mine that have helped and inspired me, and who deserve your attention. please check them out, and if you like their work, leave them some nice words.

my boyfriend, admin/wizard for my webcomic site, inspiration for the comic character Cove, artistic patron (he bought my current subscription!), photography partner-in-crime... the list goes on. i've featured him before, but he's done so much for me he deserves it again. the first two photos are from his account, and the last two are photos of his i've post-processed and uploaded.

my brother, without whom i wouldn't be nearly as geeky as i am (and thus probably wouldn't be on dA, or know anything about the internet, etc, etc.) he also bought me my first subscription- thanks again! he does light painting and other sweet experimental photography, so definitely check him out if you're into that- plus there's an old photo of us in there somewhere.



*oscarfrancis

a good friend of mine and an -amazing- photographer. i never cease to be impressed by his HDR work, and his shots of Melbourne make me anxious to try some photography when i finally make it over there (though i'm sure mine won't measure up ). his gallery is worth the visit.



~interwebceleb

a friend that i haven't seen in awhile, but who took me as a model on my first photo shoots and taught me how it's done. he has some absolutely lovely portrait photography that makes me jealous when i wonder how to capture people so well. (for MCF readers - the first two photos are of Mae and Elle ^_~)
