Did it close because of the virus? Why did the flowers get upset by not getting through the door? What is the significance of $697? Questions, questions!

    A book company solicited me. Sang a good song on the presentation and ooo we would like to publish your book! Then ended if you send us $697 we will make it happen. I told them to hold their breath and wait. Be a cold day hell before I would..wink.. thanks for the great review

    Sounds like a steep price, if you are not certain of success!

I adore your flowers! Great selections of colors and message. The message comes in loud and clear. The only thing I am unclear is the $697 on the door. Overall you did a fantastic job.

Comment from Renate-Bertodi


I used to self publish years ago, when I was still naive. Then the killers of Human Research, who were using us for remote trials and had mutilated my young son, got tighter and worse. As the Health Ministry Civil servants refused to pay compensation for his destroyed body and life AND were lovers of the killer bosses, they- I quote:' made us their sacrifice'. this is an english term, I have learnt, which means, destroy and rub out. Ofcourse, this being England, we were not told and no one was aware, so we sat like idiots, still writing, painting, being looted, being used to the core! Then in 1999 a flash came over my computer: The Prince has banned you from being printed./ Princess Diana was on the same destruction program we put you on and you knew/ I write the stories of refugees, women and children. All my post was taken to the rogue lab. whose bossess was now having sex with lots more of the government, you'd think they would want something nicer than an old whore from Peckham!!--and a whole load of lies circulated which are still being circulated. My tuition business destroyed by these lies etc etc .. so thee and me, but I could add to it. Slam from the top.

Your characters are so amusing. Their expressions tell the story. So, from what I see is the flower people got there and the door got slammed shut? How rude!! Great storytelling with this piece of art.

Now that is just sad when you have to pay them to get published lol,,I noticed there are so many scammers right now I do not trust anything when people phone,emails ect. I hope you keep going as I like your stuff. Hope those little daisies get accepted.

    Well it's not scammers really..since the internet is so easy to promote and they figure that writer gives up the $..they really don't care if it makes it or not. The scouts that used to look for talent is a dinosaur now..oh well. Thanks for the great review

Hey Flood!
I really appreciate the story behind this one! I am wanting to print a book of some of my state birds and flowers (once they are finished) so I will probably be in this same boat! Thanks for the share this one was a pleasure to view!

Comment from Neilnap773


lol..enjoyed your not so brief narrative and acknowledged just what a minefield it is out there and how difficult it is to get on the right tracks to publication.I have done it myself and had promises of my works as front covers but never come to fruition ! ah well we carry on despite ..Love your work and always brings a smile to my face rather than tears

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Thanks for the interesting notes as I've read it from beginning to end...;-)

Well this is quite an interesting presentation with that amount on the door sketched realistically as if it protrudes from the wood!

Nice storytelling factor with funny flowers facial expressions...

As usual the meticulous rendition of the brick wall.....and the pointillist lawn!

Lighting effect is great showing fine features and textures in details...

well good luck and more power!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Mark,
A brilliant picture of the Flower Folk at the door of the Publisher slammed in their faces! Sounds like the "Free Gift" or two for the price of ONE...that I discovered when I refused the 2nd pair of "Free" Spectacles to find the price of my single pair was reduced by 100 Euro! Your image was created by your artist's eye for composition & active imagination very skilful draftsmanship, beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing this image to life.
Susan

Well 1st of all I continue to love your personality and art work! 2nd I hope you get the call accepting your counter offer.
You are extremely talented.
I open my art to fanstory and I am so flattered as several have chosen my pieces as an inspiration to their stories and poems. It makes me feel happy and very flattered which to me is better than money. LOL. Your art always makes me smile. Thank you!
