Thanks for the llama
I knew a llama once. At least I thought I knew him. I mean, how well can anyone really know anyone, much less a llama. With their air of mystery and thinly veiled contempt. Itβs hard. But I digress.
His name was Kevin. But for reasons I will never understand, he would only ever answer to Albert. Identity issues aside, things started out okay. The usual introductory sniffing and sneezing went well, despite his allergies, but then things started going downhill during the ritual licking phase of the pleasantries. We pushed through. And had it not been for the spitting, we might have even been able to make it work, but alas, after just 3 seconds of bittersweet brotherhood, we finally decided to part ways. Itβs kind of sad, when you think about it. Spitting seems like such an innocent thing to fight over, but he was pretty adamant that I should stop and that was just never going to happen. We might have overcome that issue, but Kevin, like all llamas, was very competitive. First came the stench competitions. Then it was belching contests. And lastly, a painstaking count to see which one was hairier. You can clearly see why our relationship was doomed. The poor fellow was a bit of a sore loser.
So he snuck out, taking with him a failed friendship, an obliviously optimistic dread of the future, and my sixth favorite toothbrush. Now that he is gone, I can honestly say, it's for the best. He was too much of a chick magnet anyway and who needs that poultry drama?
Full disclaimer, as Kevinβs official biographer, a position of which he blackmailed me into (donβt ask), Iβve been instructed to inform you about his ongoing series. The journey starts here withΒ The Kevin Chronicles - Chapter 1, andΒ this galleryΒ contains the rest. You should check it out.
*End of cue card*
And don't worry, they're pretty short.
No pressure though, only if you want.
Sorry about the late reply. Working on the backlog.

You're welcome, I like your work! As a photomanipulator I'm always interested in seeing what others are doing in their own fields.
Keep up the stylish work, and I really enjoyed your "What makes Dark Art" feature!

A pleasure, we Dark Manipulators should stand by and support each other and all that's slightly sinister in the Art world!

Thanks for adding me to your watch list - with your pretty face and curvy figure it's a shame you live too far for me to recruit you as a model!

I've been working far too much, and not doing barely anything creative. Quite a shame. Hoping to change that this winter. I've decided to get back into painting, and hopefully photography too.
I'm glad you're doing well, I've been wondering about you xxxxx cuddles

I have a series of illustrations planned to be produced over the Holiday break. Whether this will get done or not is another matter!!! I've also met some... interesting... people which I'm hoping will model for me - with or without clothes!
Meanwhile, I'm posting my photos on my Facebook page, you may well see them there?
HUGE hugs and cuddles, my beautiful friend! XxX

Hello my dear! You're right, it really HAS been a long time! How are you, pretty lady? I'm still loving your photography, have you rediscovered your inspiration? I'm having a quiet spell myself, spending more time teaching IT than actually creating artwork.
I'll pop by your page from time to time, please feel free to do the same! (cuddles) XxX

Hi
i am sorry about everything that has happened to you but - please dont laugh - even more sorry that you cut your hair. But I understand. Thanks for the kind words about my work

You're welcome, Alex - I really like your photos. There's been some huge events in my life, none of them for the better, and all beyond my control. Still, things happen for a reason, and think of the good karma I'm building up!! As for the hair, well, it really was time for it to go. I'm at that age when it's getting thinner and greyer, and my ponytail was looking very sad. My beard is also almost completely white. Perhaps when the greying is complete I'll see if I have enough hair left to be worth growing again!
Keep up the great work, I hope to see lots more of your photos in the near future.
