The ueber-talented Jennifer Tzar (http://jennifertzar.com) directed the video, and the equally talented Regina Harris (http://www.reginaharris.com) did make-up and styling. Jennifer shot my very first album cover for my debut album on Columbia/Sony "Sky with Stars" about a million years ago. I was her very first professional shoot! We reconnected through Regina, who did make-up, hair and styling for my last two album covers ("MagiCat: Up the Rabbit Hole" and my upcoming "One Immortal Day", which "Vampire" will be on--Marzena Stergiou (http://www.LittleNewYorkPhotography.com) shot the album cover for "One Immortal Day"). Jennifer has shot people like Ozzy Osbourne and Juliet Lewis, and Regina has worked with people like Carey Mulligan, Julianne Moore and Liv Tyler. They are kind of big deals. Marzena shot my maternity and baby photos for my son, Dashel Emet. I think I am the first client who ever asked her to take a picture of them as a dead body!

This blog will chronicle the next few months as I ready my album for release, and I will also use it as a bulletin board for any and all macabre music, pictures, stories, etc. that come across my path and that intrigue me. Please feel free to suggest things to me that you think I have missed.
I'll start things off with the lovely Native American singer Buffy St. Marie
and her track "The Vampire" (http://www.rhapsody.com/artist/buffy-sainte-marie/album/the-best-of/track/the-vampire). Her voice is a bit of an acquired taste, but I love her bohemian, mystical spirit. What do you think of it?
For those of you who don't have a Rhapsody subscription, here is a pretty nice cover by Emily Jane White: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqhCMbbmuSM
As promised, here are a few more stills from my Vampire video.
Beautiful dark magic! Will be following you for sure, as I am clearly under your spell.
