She-bot and Fallen Leaves?
Originally published in Underneath the Photographs:
I'll leak some inside information about the great shake-up happening in the Leaves camp. As part of us taking things more seriously and behaving like a proper band, we're starting to form street teams. And lucky for us, we have young, passionate, and enthusiastic people volunteering and willing to help us out. I won't spill too much of the beans as I love surprises... giving as well as receiving them. But here's a preview of what two talented people designed and drew for us in the past couple of days.
From En. Some graphic design montage which I think looks really nice and would fit right into one of the pages of a future CD sleeve.
From Jeremiah. A first draft of a manga piece he conceived for our promotional and commercial use. I know it's not perfect, but I like it very much. Notice how the leaf from her hand is actually falling and coming nearer to the viewer? I must admit that I was moved when I saw this drawing... a sense of euphoria and pride, like that of a father's. I felt so touched that he actually came up with the concept, and drew this in a day, or at most two. It puts the band to shame. We've been taking our music for granted, and if people believe in us enough to waste their time on our things... it's time we start wasting time on our things too.
This post is dedicated to everyone who helps us believe in ourselves.
Thank you.

I'm back...
Confessions of a Mockstar is now back online after the mblog fiasco. Mblog is a dishonarable company and I hope that all of you have not been affected too badly by their dishonest dealings. Thankfully, I had been backing up my posts on another site, which remains free and honest, Blurty. So I managed to recover everything from there. However, all the interesting conversations and comments on the mblog site are forever lost. And if you search for my name on Google, you will not find Confessions of a Mockstar anymore. However, I foresee this to change in the near future.
Thank you everyone from all over the globe who have been reading my blog and offering your opinions, they were interesting and greatly appreciated.
Let the blogging begin...
