It's also given me time to begin to refine my work a little more and to learn techniques to use that I've previously been unknowledgable in. Techniques that I've wanted to learn for quite sometime.

Most of the reason that I began doing photoshoppery and photo-manipulations to begin with was that I desired to attain a certain look to my work, though I felt that traditional methods in which artist use were parochial at best. Until now.

I've begun incorporating my old style of work into a new direction. I'll have a first piece up here for viewing in a few days as soon as I feel the piece is complete. I'm pretty happy with it as it is right now, but I'm also burnt out on seeing it from working on it the whole weekend. So hopefully by Wednesday I'll have something really rockin for you guys to look at.

In an effort to help artists further, in the next few days I'll be starting up a stock account. It's mostly going to be alot of the references I personally use from my own collection of images that I use for things.

The main purpose in starting this stock account is...I'm sick of all the stupid ass rules that other stock artists place on their images. The only place I see a need for rules and regulations is in regards to stock photos of people or choice images of objects. I mean someone takes a photo of a turd and places it up for stock, and then suddenly you have to give them credit?? It's a turd people.

SO, that said, unless it's otherwise stated in the actual info of the image itself, use it, abuse it, print it, I don't give a flying f**k.

The secondary purpose is to give high quality stock that you guys can use in your manips or projects. Objects and textures that mimic human skin, stitches in human skin, skin being stretched, wounds etc...There have been several stock artists out there that provided this at one time, but got all huffy and puffy when people used them and they received no credit. To me, that's a little on the toddler side...

I'll announce here when the account is up and running so that you can find it and begin using the materials I'm going to provide to you.

And now I am found
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)


Without ever letting go I knew you'd gone

Without ever letting go I knew you'd gone astray
Stranded here in this cold atmosphere.
Waiting for the lifeless words to come from your mouth
Enduring every sound

This is not why the cast is hollow
Sending the rats to follow
Under the weight of all these eyes
Fry

But now you know that I am cold
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)
And now I am found
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)

I lay without understanding
I don't know why I feel this way
Oh lay down girl take my world
I know why I can't see your face
I've placed every mole there is to place on your wasted body
Oh, lay down girl and take my world
I know why I can't see your face

As the window left shattered now
We saw the withered body try to shout
You thought the price of your life was devout
And told us some things you can't live without
And was this what was best for us
And was this what was best for us

Just let it show (Rest where you ought to be)
(Block out your misery)
I'll bring you far (Wait for the call)
Well I'll go for it (You left in the hallway)
I'll beg you when you know (People they change)
(And I would still be ashamed)
I'll beg you when it shows (To let the weight of the world)
Well I'll go for it (Rest on your shoulders)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I'll die for you (I'll fight until the war is over)
(I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
It's staged for you (I'll fight until the war is over)
(I'll fight until the war is over)

Left at my feet rests the soul of my brother
Vengeance will fall for the deeds of another

When things went South in Dallas and I decided to rebirth myself under a new persona, in addition to letting myself die...I let my website die as well.

Fear not dear viewer! For in the next couple of weeks I will be unveiling a new website, with a new URL for you to drool over and send me vile and dirty emails from.

The original stock photo I used is a woman hanging from fabric and holding onto it. So I had shopping out the fabric and frankensteining another hand onto her and making it believable to deal with. As you can see that mode didn't work out so well for me, so I opted for a battle wound amputation. Let's just say that ground meat and soup bones were my friend on that one.

The original concept sketch I did up had her actually being impaled on a pole (think vlad the impaler)..again that didn't work out either, so I went with a spear through the side as that would be the most believeable wound in a battle between angels and demons. As most of the artwork I've seen of Saints and Angels almost always has them with a spear in hand. That and trying to put it straight through her was just.....lame

I had to hand paint in some hair to give it motion, I may go back and revisit portions of the hair later, but overall I'm rather satisfied with this piece

I'd like to collaborate with one or a few of you on some of my projects.

Ideally I'd like to email back and forth and come up with a concept and have each artist come up with thier portion, turn it over to the other artist and let them muck with it some, and then slap em together and see what comes out..


Interested??

Shoot me a note here and I'll email more details..

Sorry about that. I've been bitching about it for years, and I finally did it. I made the switch to MAC. So I've been busy reinstalling programs and making sure that I've got all my resources conveniently moved over and I should be back up and running by the end of the week.

I assure you that's not the case. Those that have seen my paintings on canvas know that I already paint all gooey and gobby like that.

Do I use photos for reference.. yes

Smudging them?? No.

I've had tons of inquiries in my inbox as to when I would make the Victorian Line Designs available for purchase on clothing.

The Designs are now available. For right now I've got ninety six, ninety seven, the studio logo, and a rogue design that I've not yet named other thatn Fleur inspired by my fiance`.

I plan to have everyone's favorite Ninety Eight uploaded by tomorrow evening at the latest as I've had to go back and reconfigure a few things with the designs in illustrator to ensure that you recieve a top notch quality product.

Right now most designs are available in black or white outlining with the studio name on the back on towards the bottom of the shirt.

You can Go Here to see the designs I've got available and if you like them purchase them as well. Keep checking back as well as I'm constantly making new designs.

If you guys like what you see, PLEASE feel free to plug this or make mention of it. It would mean alot to me.

/end plug

My gift is mine to use as I see fit.. I really dislike people that use me for it, or that think that getting close to me will propell thier portfolio further or immortalize them in pixels. There are days when I wish some of my work was like a harddrive that all I had to do was imagine it being deleted and it would disappear from the face of the earth.

The mistakes we make with our hearts are at times ones that are the hardest to take back. And are usually the biggest ones we as humans make. We carry our hearts in little decorative boxes and dole them out to complete strangers only to have the box that we spent so long building to protect ourselves, torn apart and an item of such fragility thrown down upon the ground and stomped on. Or sometimes just tossed back in our faces.

I'm also not a science expirement.. I'd really appreciate it if people would stop trying to figure me out or get into my head..Getting into my head is a bad idea in the first place.. I'll let you in only to drown you in my own blood and look down on you with a smile as you choke.

I've been far too mistreated for far too long to let it happen again. ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/8124516/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/8124516/ Fri, 10 Mar 2006 19:02:36 PST
So someone provided some clarification to my previous issue. I'm unsure if I'll be keeping my account or not...I'm in the process of deciding at this point.

However, I wish that DEVART would have provided a more "plain language" version of thier user agreement for the common user out there. Not one that only a lawyer could interpret. ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/7062037/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/7062037/ Wed, 16 Nov 2005 09:09:45 PST

#2 It's really good and there's not much else that people can say.

It's here...and I must cuddle it and love it and name it George.....


errrr....ahem.

Sorry. I'm just so choked up. The 20D arrived..and it's georgeous..absolutely georgeous...For the first time in my life I have a hard on from a piece of photographic equipment. I've got to be careful so as not to get anything on it.

I love that the exchange price matches. I found an ad online for a 20D with lense for $1249. I took it to the exchange, they called and verfied and wala...I got out of there with a 20D with a 18-55 lense for $1249. If that's not the steal of the century I don't know what is.. Fuck..now I have to start buying canon lenses now too...shit.

Anyone have any use for Nikon lenses??? I sure as hell don't anymore. Well that's not entirely true, I still have my old FE that I refuse to give up.


So um yeah, I guess this solidifies my return to photography.... ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/6314311/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/6314311/ Wed, 24 Aug 2005 10:05:55 PDT
So yeah, here's the deal. I'm beginning photography again. But not in the format that you are used to seeing from me. I will be beginning again for stock photos for use in my manipulations...

Here's where you the viewer come in. My next several are going to be interactive. That is if I get participation. Note me, tell me your worst fear, or what scares you the most (no clowns please, I hate clowns, and mimes are even more evil). My job is to try to convey it via art. ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/6125515/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/6125515/ Wed, 03 Aug 2005 18:49:15 PDT
Let me assure you all that this is not out of maliciousness or mal-contempt. But because I do not have a model release on file for her. I know she was my wife right? Should I need one? I probably should and just to keep things on the safe side I'm removing them.

That said, rather than wait for things to get sticky as they can and usually do in the event of a divorce, I'm covering my own ass and removing them until I

A. Get a model release from her

B. Get some sort of written ok from her to use her images.

I hope you'll all understand. ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/6031361/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/6031361/ Mon, 25 Jul 2005 14:48:02 PDT
Internet access has been iffy, so I log on when I can. I recently found out that one of my neighbors has an unsecured wireless network...Hmm, I wonder if they notice I'm eating thier bandwidth alive over here?

Anyway. I FINALLY got a fucking house. It's a 2 bed, 2 bath, attached home, kinda like a duplex, except with 4 houses to it. It's 1100 square feet, and it fits just fine for me. It's a brand new house that was completed about 2 weeks ago. In addition I've got a water view as well. .That's right bitches.. I lucked the fuck out. The neighborhood has a little pond in it, with a fountain, so from my bedroom I can see this thing. The house is about 20 min drive to and from work, but no biggie as the neighborhood is nice, the price was right, and that's all that really matters in my book.

I haven't had much time for art lately. I met a wonderful young lady down here and she and I have been spending lots of time together. And well...well you know what we've been doing, I shouldn't have to explain it to you. She's a cute little thing, and heavily tattoo'd, and truth be told, I wanna keep her around awhile. I've been extremely upfront and extremely honest with her about myself and my past, and she hasn't run away screaming yet. She just hugs me every time...again, I lucked out. I must be doing something right. Anyway, we've been enjoying each others company in just about every way you could imagine thus far, and enjoying cuddling up next to each other as well. Pictures will be forthcoming.. We're so cute it'll make you puke. So artworks on a bit of a hold right now till we get the furniture all moved in and I get abit more settled. She's working nights this week as she just started a new position at her job, so I may have time here soon for some quality artwork time.

School...wow, this school is intense. When we first began, I couldn't speak for shit infront of people. Now, I CAN. And I can do it well for that matter. Today I had to give a 30 minute presentation on flight clothing. I ran short at 28:34, but still well within the timezone for my target area. I have no idea what I've got to do for the rest of the week, but I hope it's something interesting or Imma sleep my ass off in class.

Other than that, take care of yourselves.. I'll have artwork soon. ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/5699086/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/5699086/ Sun, 19 Jun 2005 22:09:20 PDT
It's my favorite animal, and the PDX has been such a learning experience for me. I will be getting this tattoo'd on me. It's mainly to remember my time here.. But also to place something on me that has meaning as well.

I'd like to say that I'm doing fine, and those that know me, know that this is the kind of stuff my artwork feeds from. I should be beginning photography again soon, with an emphasis on medical equipment fetish for the time being, but I'm unsure where things will take me from that point.

I've had a hard time in life, and never really succeeded at much of anything. This further reenforces my belief that I do not belong here. Somedays I wish I could lay down and never wake....This world is entirely too cruel for me to deal with anylonger. I suspect I'll shut myself in for quite sometime....

The person whom won the auction on Ebay for my particular piece has emailed me and let me know that he does not want the piece.


Hello Zach,

Thanks for your e-mail, perhaps it would have been better if I'd just made a straight donation and not bid on the print. I have so many photographic prints at home, principally of my favorite fetish models, Dita and Kumi that I would have no space to give your work justice. So thanks for the offer but I do not wish to have the print.

(name withheld).

That said, I've got the first and ONLY print of this image that will EVER, I REPEAT EVER, be made or sold sitting right here on my desk, just waiting for a new home. I never, EVER make one of a kind prints, all of them are always in a closed series.

$50 plus $5 for shipping takes it. Signed and numbered by me, and matted with standard white matte. The print is done using an Epson 2200 on professional quality, fine art paper.

If no one here buys it, it's going to go into my show at the Echo Gallery to be sold at a MUCH higher price. Get it while you can.

Pretty much each month we'd come up with a new theme, or word, and each of us try to make a piece that we feel relates to that word etc.. etc.

I think this would be a wonderful opporotunity for those of us that have tried and tried again to apply to the various art groups out there, but our request have just been ignored or perhaps we don't exactly fit the bill for what they're looking for.

If interested either send me a note, or reply here. Once we do that, we'll collectively come up with a name for the group, and begin a new devart acct just for us to submit to for these purposes.

Thank you for your time,

While I admire her courage for posting a photo of herself while pregnant, which in itself involves alot of vulnerability for her to do that in addition to dealing with her own insecurities. I personally find the image lacking. What's so awesome about a prenant chick in the woods showing her stomach? Not a fucking thing. Had she bothered to use a play on light, or something other than " here I am, acting all goth, and I'm pregnant", I might agree with the rest of the sheep that followed along and favorited just because she had the courage to show her stomach? You've got to be fucking kidding me? It takes no more courage than that of this man here. Who completely left himself vulnerable and went one step further to degrade or to let himself be degraded and totally put it all out there.

I'm not saying that any of my pieces belong up there, that's not my bitch. But if crap like that is all it takes to make it into the daily top favorites...then consider me Vincent Van fucking Gogh, as I've done much better than that while bent over scratching my ass.

That's it... I'm going to take a paper plate and shit on it, cover the fucking thing in silly string and m&m's and call it art. Perhaps then because I was "the first one to have the courage to do it" it'll end up in some museum..

I guess I'm just a non conformist opinionated asshole, and I should keep my opinions to myself. ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/3700484/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/3700484/ Fri, 29 Oct 2004 09:47:34 PDT

I've gotten alot of Suzi 9mm comments on some of my photos, and while she may have been the first person to be noticed doing that type of photography on this site. Unfortunately she's not teh only one, nor is she the originator of that style. People have been doing it for years before us, and will continue to do it after we are gone.

I honestly didn't even know who she was until you guys mentioned it on here...

So, that said, my work is of my OWN creativity and my OWN mind, not that of someone elses....

However I will add that her work kicks much ass... ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/636236/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/636236/ Fri, 18 Apr 2003 22:30:58 PDT

Im not sure if you actually took this pic, but what disconcerns me is that you are putting up an image like this without even a description. It leads me to think you just got this off the web or felt like taking a pic and posting it as porn.


Well aren't you just stupid?? Why don't you take a look at the REST Of my gallery before you open your mouth. If you took a look, you'd see that the models involved in the photos are the same models from In This Corner And The Nikita Series

If you like, email me at Opticalblasphemy@hotmail.com, Both models have stated here in my presence that they would gladly email you and have a few words as to the originality and validity of these photos.

I hate people that see something wonderful and just can't believe that it was created by an individual with actual REAL talent.

Grow up ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/562798/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/562798/ Sun, 23 Mar 2003 16:35:14 PST and for someone whos 'cutting themselves' she looks pretty damn emotionless.

Have you ever cut yourself?? I'm sorry to say that from my experience, it doesn't hurt.. It's a release. Therefore, no expression, just a nice relaxed calm facial expression.

To the person whom told me poor composition etc...I'm here to break the rules, not follow them. I am here to break out of the stupid little molds that every photographer is slowly being molded into. ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/546440/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/546440/ Sun, 16 Mar 2003 09:36:04 PST
I will be adding Against the Wall and a few others here in the next few days. ]]> ~opticalblasphemy http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/540052/ http://opticalblasphemy.deviantart.com/journal/540052/ Wed, 12 Mar 2003 18:15:53 PST
I am waiting on Devart to do it. However in the meantime....I use a HIGH quality inkjet printer here at home for my own portfolio works and displays around the home. This printer has and continues to outdo such "higher quality/professional" systems as Fuji's frontier printer and other "professional" systems. Comparison of prints between the printer we own and prints from the "professional" systems is night and day.

The prints from the printer lose no resolution, remain as sharp and as vivid as the image on your screen. The Prints we've received from the "professional" systems lose alot of resolution and clarity and have been subject to color shifts we have noticed.

This is why I am offering the opporotunity for you to contact via email regarding interest in a print. I will return to you with size availability, and cost with shipping and insurance.

Right now I am only able to offer certain photos in my gallery and on my website as prints. As I contact the different models and gain thier permission more prints will become available to you.

If you are interested in obtaining a print, please email

Opticalblasphemy@hotmail.com

And I will return to you the information required ]]> ~opticalblasphemy
