[Sorry for the late
response Richard, I got
stoned and forgot to
press send   Thank you
so much for sending
me the portraits! Would
love that, blade runner
sounds very cool   how
are you?]

Hey Fran, was just
thinking about you
earlier tonight! I was
putting together an
idea for a photo collage
of you from one of the pics
you sent. Gonna do it
on the weekend & send
it to you mon or tues
feeling good & great to
hear from you!

Smoking something
called Romulan Kush
tonite   Hope I'm
not breaking any Starfleet
regulations!

[Romulan is one of my
favourite strains, it
helps me sleep]

Hey Fran, sweet
dreams

[Thanks Richard, you
too]

Mar 3
Just finishing a
portrait collage from
one of the pics you
sent   The title is
'The Empress of
Spirit', and there's a
swedish connection to
it   It'll make sense
when you see it! send
it to you tomorrow

Mar 11
Just sent the portrait
collage to your email
Sorry for the delay
getting it to you but
my computer went
down last week & I
just go back on line

Started a new portrait

of you in pastels from
the pic you sent with
the fur coat   Trying
something a little
different with this one

[Ooooh is this the
Empress of Spirit
painting?]

Empress of Spirit I put
together on photoshop,
but I want to do a
pastel version later on
because the image is
so totally cool! Might
try the Blade Runner
interpretation

[Wow you are
absolutely brilliant
Richard, I love it!!!]

Working on the outline
of your new portrait
right now. I'm totally
excited, it's coming
together beautifully!!!
Should be finished next
week

[I'm so freaking
excited!!! You are an
incredible Artist]

[Everyone loves it
Richard!!!]

Thanks Fran! You
totally inspire my best
work!

[Let's keep doing great
things together!]

Yes, for sure!!!

[People want the bottle
Richard, they're asking
me where they can buy
it]

No problem Fran, let
me know how many
prints you want

Hey Fran, you did a fabulous job putting that image together! It is
totally cool! I love what you did with the hair, and I'm curious
to know what filters you used to create that texture

Not sure if you're familiar with the absolut magazine ads, but
they're actually put together beautifully. For what is essentially
commercial art, they're quite intriguing. A lot of well known
artists' work have been used to create them, from Van Gogh to Helmut Newton.
I thought that particular image of you would fit in perfectly, and
I'm thinking it came together quite nicely

[Richard you are amazing!!! I cannot get over how fabulous the Absolut is :)
I used some snap chat filters, I love taking selfies.
I am familiar with the absolut ads, you smashed it out of the park!
I'm so excited for the next one!

How are you doing? Let me know.]
