dear adee, howdy....i enjoy you're art very very much and when i gets some more monies I'm definately gonna be buyin some....i have a feeling that your music is equally as great and i was wondering if there is anyway i can hear a song or two before buying the album....do you have any mp3's or anything? take care kevin Dandelion ps robert smith and birdie are mega-cute

Sat, 10 Dec 2005 when i grow up, i want to be you! well, maybe not BE you, because then you can't be yourself! because you'd be me! but i must restate: i want to be LIKE you. because: i've seen your website, and it was good. AND because: 1. you do what you love for a living [well i can infer you love what you do, because you are an independant artist and have a "happy customer" section] 2. you most likely tour the country to showcase your art in shows [that's always fun as hell] 3. you are a multi-media user [paint, plushies, film, words; my faves!] 4. you make a profit [? or do you get left in the neg. zone ?] 5. you are FREE to do what you like --so, how long did it take you to get to the point you are now? i am starting my own business shortly, because i asked one of my friends who draws cute monsters to partnership with me, so i'm going to make hers into plushies and tote bags, etc. Your newest admirer, Melissa age: 17 place: atlanta, ga

Hi Adee, Thanks for getting in touch. On a personal note. I like your work very much, although buying for the site is tricky and I don't feel as though the product would work for the site. "ChosenCouture.com"

Interesting stuff. The Portrayal of faces always throws me off a little. As I find the color schemes a bit confusing. My sense of depth is often thrown as well. Ken

The art seems to come to life right before my eyes Colette age 11

I can't believe you made someone a guitar and your own halloween costume. That is so damn cool. Anyways, I'm going to pass on your website for sure and I'm going to be thinking, for now, as to what kind of art I could be in need of. Thanks! Vish

Hi there! I saw a little blurb on Crafters for Critters in Veg Times and came across your Web site from there I love your work! carrie 2006

I just wanted to let you know that this is one of the neatest ideas I've seen in a loooong time. Although it's fairly basic, I don't think I've ever seen it! Hopefully you are experiencing a lot of positive feedback. I do paintings and make dolls, and they tend to look quite similar, but I've never intentionally made them match. I may do that with my own sometime, but I promise you I won't steal your idea. Good luck in your endeavor, and I hope you get the word out. Cheryl

hello adee just checked out your site... wonderful stuff! thanks for your interest in glove and boots. nice to meet you keep us posted with your progress! cheers, vinny (fafa the groundhog)

You are a great artist. Love your work. J

The dolls, that you just made, are so photogenic! They look terrific!

My kids are too old for this....but I just wanted to say what a great idea!!!! When my grandkids are older I would so love to order something like this! He's only 4 months right now...lol. Just wanted to let you know that this is awesome! Cheers, Shirley Dec 4 2006

i checked out your site too, i think its great. --michelle dec 7 2006

My name is Amy and let me begin by saying that I love your dolls-they are so refreshingly creative and one of a kind-you should be very proud of yourself! OK-I found your website just by chance, you know, late at night wasting hours surfing the net, and I am so happy I did. To me, the best gift is handmade, but the perfect gift is handmade AND personalized. That's what you do-again, you should be very proud of yourself. Your dolls are leaps and bounds above anything you can buy at a store-I can't wait and I just know my niece will love it! Amy March 2007

I just have to tell you that i love your creations! In fact, your dolls gave me the idea to make rag dolls for my fiance for Christmas that look just like us - it was a big hit :) Stephanie May 7, 2009

first of all I love your website. its whimsical and fun and just amazing! and exactly what i have been looking for!

Adee I love your arrestingly vivid portraits!

	my entry follows
		My eyes in disbelief. Sitting, standing, talking, and laughing on a porch for over 20 years. The scene hardly ever changed. At least nothing of notice to me.I spent three years away from my home at college and passed through and over this porch of brick many times. I remember noticing an old rusty chain still attached to one side of our porch. It used to hold our carriages locked up in safely overnight. This was the only thing besides brick and concrete on our porch. A porch in front of a home, which my family grew in for over 30 years. It is our foundation of life. Fond of our house, which was one of few on our block that wasn't attached on either side. It was built where a street used to pass through many years ago. I took for granted the plants and trees that grew on our block between avenues Y and Z. Then upon returning from college in upstate NY, I became more aware of the lack of foliage in our area. The full trees and bushes we had growing outside our windows made me very proud. In comparison I felt as though we had our own little jungle full of birds, cats, and squirrels in which I could sit in private shade. Over the years I would return to find our block looking so different. It was mostly due to the fact that trees were dying, winds were knocking, and people were cutting, while nothing was being replanted. Our neighbor's tree had been cut so often that it no longer reached up and over our porch anymore. No more green backgrounds for photos, no more hiding from the sun, and no more leaves to watch shiver in the rain and the wind. Also, across the street, a tree I had seen my whole life had been cut down for safety because of its age. Things seemed bleak, less color, less life, and less hope. I remember the joy and honor I felt at the age of 16 when we planted trees in Israel. Though young, I could still feel and understand the intense power and impact of what we were doing. I was excited for the future, although it was small, we had planted hope. The last time I was home to visit, there was a block party going on. Grandchildren of the people we grew up around danced in the streets. There was an array of cultures and ethnicities surrounding the music. I sat on my porch and watched. The view was less green, yet still fortunate in celebration. While smiling and spectating, something caught my eye. On a brick, of a porch, by a home, in the middle of a street in Brooklyn, stood the quietest little leaves. My eyes in disbelief. Was it fake? Was it a fallen branch from a nearby tree? I looked closer while getting on my knees. Here was the smallest little green and red plant growing straight out of concrete and brick. It was over 50 feet away from any soil or water. With such a strange sight I filled with both amazement and confusion. I instantly ran inside to grab my mom, and my camera. Ibegged her not to yank it out. This plant growing anywhere else would most likely not cause a slight stir, but the fact that here was the impossible, here was the future, never expected nor constructed. Here grew life out of nothing. Here was hope.
