Hi Cats!

It's time for the next installment of "You Tell Us About Something That Is Dangerously Cool. This time we'd like to hear about your favourite kick-@$$, action-packed, steel-eyed, bad-to-the-bone Dangerously Cool fictional character. This one can be from the world of film, comics, literature, or any other fictional medium.

I shall lead off with the character who is perhaps my all time favourite bad-@$$; Molly, from William Gibson's Sprawl Series (Neuromancer, Mona Lisa Overdrive, and the short story Johnnie Mnemonic).

Bodyguard, mercenary, fighter, business woman; Molly is the perfect combination of danger (jazzed-up nervous system, scalpel blades that can be extruded from beneath her fingernails, vision-enhancing glasses surgically inset over her eyes), smarts, wit, and style. She was one of the first really strong, tough, and well-written female characters that I ran into in my youth and she's still cool all these decades later.

Now let's hear about yours...

About ][ Dangerously Cool

Guns, blades, crazy people, fast vehicles, dangerous places; what else?

Whether you are an artist who has an interest in these things solely for the sake of your art or you are a nut who enjoys edgy stuff first hand, I wanted to let you know about a brand new project.

It's a news/lifestyle web journal and web-based video program (along with a community site) called 'Dangerously Cool' [link] and it deals only with stuff that fits that general description; weapons, fast vehicles, crazy people, training, places that your mom wouldn't want you to visit - you get the idea.

So far, it is a written web journal, but we are already in production on the new show.

The main difference between ][DC (as we call it, or just ][ ) and DS2 is that where DS2 is broader and promotes doing all sorts of interesting stuff, ][DC is very specifically focused on cool stuff with an edge.

Looking forward to seeing you over there, if you are so inclined. And I would love to hear your ideas for future posts and shows.

More soon. Be Well.
Jade

As of March 2008, the only stock photos I will produce will be requests. If you need something specific for a project, I'd love to hear your pitch. To clarify, I'm not looking for ideas (I've got plenty of those), I am interested in collaborating with serious artists who need specific images or references.
