I've been very blessed with the numerous friendships that have multiple levels on intellectual input. This forum paves the creativity and genius held within each person. Below are some of my friends who have given from their hearts, shared their precious talents with me, and I am eternally grateful.
The sculpture (below) created by Mattzilla, a multitalented friend from San Francisco. An easy to spot genius that will be off creating with the best someday. He's multitalented in so many areas, it is difficult to write about all of them. His artwork and originality speaks for itself. If you'd like to enjoy his art, please write me, as he is in dispose as my Master Dreamscape Artist, with vast capabilities with multimedia and a multitude of complex art forms. I prefer to call him my "Sculpticulturist". =)
Brad (below) is a friend that was met with the interveining of Alison Moyet. We'd have never met, if it weren't for her, so hat's off. He's got a hand at creating his own off images, as well as original works that are unequalled. Below is a display that was presented in Pitt's Manor House Museum in London. Amongst all this, we share the talent for writing songs and poem. 
I've known Serafina (below) since I was 14, and we've never lost touch. Together, we did some amazing things that should have been our deaths, but somehow, we've both grown and become better people in the world because of our friendships. Kudos to my Mickey!
On a different level, many of my friends have impacted me even when they didn't realize it. A simple gesture of kindness can kill off a bad attitude. For that, there are people that can come into our lives, yet swiftly leave without a trace. In a busy world, it's reality. Chock-full of energy and charisma, is Matt (inset below), yet another phenomenal artistic talent. He's got so many gifts, its hard to keep up. Producer, writer, sketcher, and all around Artist. A guy who many refer to as simply 'mgl' is destined for higher ground.
Along the lines of fantastic and fabulous, is Jonna (below), gives birth to new music and remixes and REMIXES. He's got a brain for picking apart a song, and yet putting it back together with perfection. You can hear his work at:
www.subwaycollective.com . I've learned so much about tonal differences, and shared in the happiness when a mix is going in the right direction.
There are amongst other forms of art, yet another creativity, which comes directly from the heart. I haven't figured out what exactly is the magic that this man holds, but Ernesto (below) is a master of the heart. He's been a strong influence on my well-balanced, yet off-sense of fun, reality, and wisdom. He continually shows the love and devotion that a real friend should give. And for that, I am eternally grateful. No, there are no drawings or photos, because you see, his art cannot be touched or seen. It can only be felt within the heart, and he touches all who know him.
Greg (below) has been there, and done that. He's a guy who will try anything once. For that, I am forever grateful, and I revel in his works. He's not only a great giver and a brain that just won't quit, but he's an accomplished singer/songwriter who demands only the unusual and different than any other material out there. So, you see, this for me just 'fits'. Check out his website:

Below is the beginning of my friendship "Wall Of Honor". It's in constant development and proliferation, but soon it shall be filled. I honor every one of these people who have touched my life in one way or another throughout the years.
There are many people in this world I would like to acknowledge all the same for giving me inspirations and perserverence. First, everyone is equal, and has no more or less important regardless if they are celebrity or not. We are all stars. Here are some random names for random reasons. Not all have outward reasons, but they are important to me just the same.
*My Father: Giving me patience, courage to be me, self-confidence, and unconditional love no matter what.. I never stop thinking about you, and you are in every beat of my heart and in every step I take. I miss your laughter. *Alison Moyet: Showing me that you can love yourself for just who you are and knowing it will shine from the inside out. *Serafina DeBennett: For being my first FlameDame at the age of 15, scaring the shit outta our friends in the darkroom in SCROC, making 100's of Ouija boards, and unsurmountable mischief that should have led us to jail!, and letting me know about drugs without using them. *Kitty DeBennett: For being like Debby (QAF) and being an Awesome Best Friend's mom, and confiding with me, and treating me like I was one of your kids (I know you are watching over us - and yelling at me and Serafina!). Love you always, and you'll always be alive in my heart. *Gaysha Starr (Rob): For letting me understand drag queens, and that not ALL are bitches! *Rick Platt: Giving me self-worth, kindhearted friendship & knowlege at a very young age that anyone can fall from grace (you will always be missed in this world).
