With perfect timing of ghosts ghoulies and dark imagination I have just received the most wonderful Halloween book gift, from the author Jasmine Becket-Griffith a long time artist friend whom I have greatly admired from the start of her breathtaking career in Gothic Art. Not a book for the lighthearted but for anyone who appreciates Art in all its forms, this book is a triumph for Contemporary Artists that exposes every facet, with every continent and artistic medium represented it is an unique vision of the Gothic asthetic of dark disturbing appeal and a sure fire winner for artists that deserve mainstream recognition.
“Thank you Jasmine, keep dancing in the Dark! Congratulations”

“Every child is a Fairy deserving an enchanted childhood, my picture shocks even me, yet this is reality and is happening now in the 21st century. Please take a moment to take in such horror and allow your conscience to stop this happening. A regular donation to Save the Children will help to ease the pain and suffering of children, the fairies of our world.”

The UN are meeting on 25 September 2008 to discuss the goals they set to tackle poverty. We want them to 'get on track' with their goal to cut child deaths by two-thirds by 2015. Progress on this goal has been slow – 10 million children still die every year, mostly from preventable causes. That's appalling.
We want you to join tens of thousands of people around the world who are demanding that the UN uses this meeting to 'get on track' to stop millions of child deaths. At the current rate the goal won't be met until 2045. That's an unacceptable 30 years late!
Add your voice by sending a message to the UK's Ambassador to the UN, urging him to make sure the September meeting results in concrete actions to cut child deaths, not more missed opportunities.
Having travelled from the successful Faerieworlds Festival in Oregon , via Chicago to Zurich to Barcelona and to the bus terminal within half a mile of their home our very dear friends and musicians and FAE cover girl, Priscilla Hernandez, and her partner Hector, were the victims of a daylight robbery in which all of their equipment and money was stolen.
It is at times like this when we need to come together and help those in need, in any small way we can.
So, on both sides of the faery pond, we are pulling together to help get Priscilla and Hector back onto their faery feet again, so they can buy new equipment to create even more of their beautiful music.
Here follows an extract from Priscilla’s post on my faeryspace
“…Just as soon as we stepped from the airbus airport two big guys attacked us robbed all our studio equipment and personal belongings, they poured a substance over us and they wanted the black case in which we carried all important things, so we’ve been stolen all the cash we made in faerieworlds, our laptop, our mobile studio and soundcard, our photocamera, our hardrive with our data, our videocamera, all our memories, our flat and car keys, our passports, and almost everything of value I had with me, thanks god they didn’t took my carry on so my original paintings are safe. I’m pretty sure we were spotted and they did know which case they wanted…” Priscilla Hernandez
Fairy cakes are a delicacy as delicate as the name Fairy suggests but choking to death after an “impromptu” challenge by a friend to see who could eat the most fairy cakes is the unfortunate result of Monkeying with the fairies.
Priscilla Hernandez, Spanish ethereal Gothic singer-songwriter and fantasy illustrator will premier in USA next 1st and 2nd of August in the FAERIEWORLDS FESTIVAL (Oregon, USA). Priscilla won the award as best new age album with Ancient Shadows (IMA AWARDS) and also as nominee as best new age vocalist in Los Angeles music awards.
In Faerieworlds she will be presented by the designer of movies like The Dark Crystal and Into the Labyrinth, Brian Froud, and she will count with the help of musicians from Woodland and Trillian Green on the stage. And she will open for Woodland in the Good fairy day and for the German band Qntal in the Bad fairy day. Live the legend!
