About Me

Hello all. My name is Donald Ely and I am working hard this year towards becoming the best working artist that I can become. I really want to get more freelance work and the only way to do that is through tons of shameless self-promotion. So visit my site at www.donaldely.com and check out my work. Though occasionally you will see newer work at my blog: http://cosmiclimbing.blogspot.com/, where I post whatever I'm working on at the time, complete or not.On a different note, I can't wait for Summer, though I will settle for Spring at this point, she has been gone for waaaay too long. I hate the winter weather–it's cold, dry and makes my hands crack and bleed. Makes me restless at night and makes me miserable during the day.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

• Erykah Badu. I don't just want to meet her, I want to work for her. If the past couple of months have been any kind of indication, it seems as though this is a definite possibility. I REALLY want to do the album art for New Amerykah Pt. II: Return of the Ankh.• Madonna. If you know me, you know why.• Woody Guthrie. It's a shame people can't live forever. I would love to meet this master lyricist.• Yoko Ono. One of life's greatest gifts is that of Ms. Ono. An inspiration to many and a beautiful human being. Yoko's music is so far ahead of its time that 50 years from now it will sound contemporary. Despite the negative attitude that many shed upon her, Yoko continues to spread the word of love and equality through every form of media possible. If you haven't given her a good listen pick up any of the following albums: "Approximately Infinite Universe", "Season of Glass", "Feeling the Space", and "Blueprint for a Sunrise"

I'm not quite sure how I feel lately. One day I'm really sad and ultra-nostalgic and the next day I'm so busy that I almost seem to forget that my great-grandfather is no longer alive. I found out tha...
