Issue 1: The Gaslight Circus 
Tired
So...what have I been up to? What's causing all this? Well, I'm glad you asked!
First on the Agenda, I want to announce my new site...it's not done yet, but I'm getting there.
Perfect-Drug.org is now my personal blog( which you're actually reading right now, because it doubles back to my LiveJournal as well, and is to be crossposted to my DeviantArt, FaceBook and MySpace. Integration is a wonderful thing. ) Since it's now my blog/writing website, that leaves a hole where my art portfolio used to be. Well, I had to move it because of my host at the time decided to change their policies and it left me "homeless." I couldn't just ditch the service because other stuff I am involved in is hosted on there, so...I now have [link]
Modern Midnight, the art of Jason Hyde. Oh didn't I mention that too? I incorporated my first name back into all this again. I'm sure that matters somewhere.
Anyway, Modern Midnight is just what it says....Today's Darkness, brought to you by your host with the most. Photo Art and Digital Design. It's my new home and GOSH is it pretty...Please, come take a look.Next on the agenda! Getting the word out and getting shit done. First of all, I'll be offering some merchandising stuff(should anyone care....I'm mostly doing it because I want a hat and patches with Skully on it). Secondly, Prints are gonna be pushed. Anyone who wants to do even a small amount of advertising for me(Like, a MySpace Bulletin, a LiveJournal Post, etc.) please let me know. I'd be eternally grateful and would find a way to pay you back for the help.
I also want to join and post to some more LJ and DeviantArt art communities so if anyone has any reccomendations, please let me know. Same for MySpace if such a thing exists there. On a kinda related note, I now have a Flickr account, so if you're on there, I'm user jasonxhyde. As you also may have noticed, I'm on twitter as well and I try and update at least a few times during the day. You can find that link here: [link]
So that's the start of all this, and there truly is more to come...as I've been mapping out several different art projects of late with some big expectations, high aspirations, etc. Some of them are minor and pretty well planned, like a themed shoot I have planned called "Dead Betty Paige" which is the model Key in classic Betty Paige shots with a twist. Another is far more involved but has been ongoing and reinvented a few times, the Tarot Deck I want to do. A third is based on my love of the world of Silent Hill, which I've been doing shoots for on and off for a year or two.
And then there are two...shall we say "bigger" projects.
First one I can't talk too much about because it's not mapped yet. I will however give you the premise: I want to do a comic book...perhaps a short graphic novel. However, there won't be much drawing. It'll entirely be done in my style of Photo Editing and manipulation. Story isn't set yet, so I can't start casting or anything like that but it should be pretty interesting. I have high hopes.
The second project is much more personal and it's not for profit(at least, not initially...then again none of my work is done specifically for that) but it has great potential for something much bigger and a possibility of publishing. It's a project based around Neil Gaiman's comic book series The Sandman, and is a series of portraits of both the Endless and abstract aspects of their existence accompanied by some prose. It's....difficult to explain really. You'll probably have to wait til I get some work done on it to understand better.
Anyway, thats what I've been up to. Time to get moving, though. I'll be around later.
Also! New contact information
