amigos de deviantarte!,


A couple of updates....they're really old updates, but new for you guys...since I unfortunately don't get on here as much as I use to. That will change this summer, I promise! I need to clean out my gallery of old stuff (no worries, I'm just deleting old photography and comics...none of my narrative art)

The myspace has been updated with a new look and new feel:

the new andrew c. artwork promo video is out with all its 6 minutes of artwork and credits, you can view it as it autostarts on the myspace, or you can view it here, at youtube:

a quick story about perseverance. an example that one person can do anything, if you go about the right way of doing it:
the new art promo video was completed late jan/early feb 2009. It contained the songs "Daylight" and "We're Turning On The Lights," respectively preformed by Remedy Drive ([link]) and Sanctus Real ([link]). Remedy Drive's label, the large record company, Warner Music Group (WMG) tagged my video, saying they owned the material in the video (Daylight) and that I did not have permission. My video was uploaded 3 times and taken off of youtube 3 times by WMG (Not Remedy Drive! but their label!) I then proceeded to message Remedy Drive on myspace, formally asking them for permission to post the video on youtube, providing the link to the video that was on facebook already. David of Remedy Drive replied, "You have our permission, rock on!" I then uploaded the video a fourth time....and was tagged by WMG again. I then filled out a claim form online (what is it called again) and submitted it to youtube. I claimed that they (Remedy Drive) had given me permission. (all during this Sanctus Real hadn't replied to the permission message i sent them...and they still haven't, but the video was never tagged by EMI/Sparrow) A week later, my video was still up, but no longer tagged and the audio no longer muted! So when you watch that video, remember a lot of effort not only went into making it, but a lot of effort went into posting it!
there's my story for the month.

if you wish to view last year's promo video, in all it's embarrassingly crude qualities: (the link's disabled, just put the letter's back together...no spaces. a smilely kept coming up when the link was together)

also, if you know who, or looked up on the links and found out that you like Remedy Drive's music...vote for them as the New Best Artist of the Year for the 40th annual Dove Awards. You can do that here:

Lastly, thanks for all the faves and watches! I really wish I had time to thank you all for them. Maybe I'll get around to it. I really hope so. Also we've got some catching up to do! How has everyone been doing?

Have an awesome weekend
cheers,
~andrew

Time keeps moving on
Through the sunshine and the storm
And my dreams are set in stone
And someday I’ll be who I want to be
For now I’ll wait
For the sun to shine again
And for now I’ll wait
For the rain to pass away

And I’m looking for the brighter days
When all my hurts seem to fade away
I’m looking for the brighter days to come my way

Faces come and faces go
But none seem to look my way
And walls have stood and walls have fallen
But my heart seems to wait
For now I’ll sit at the end of the road
And for now I’ll wait
At the end of the pathway

I’ll see the sun one day shine upon me
I’ll see the sun one day
And watch the nighttime turn to morning
But for now it all comes back around
