HIM Updates
Just so you know...
In regards to a certain tabloid scan that has been circulating since earlier this morning & the 'gossip' around it involving a certain someone, please note that I will NOT be posting or partaking in it. This includes the online links that are also being shared (& posted by others) that are related to this supposed 'news'.
I respect this person & his privacy. Also, keep in mind this 'news' IS from a tabloid- & like any others, they tend to speculate without having the FACTS. So, unless it comes directly from the person himself, it IS only gossip & speculation. I hope some of you can see this viewpoint as well & also can try to respect that person's privacy enough to not spread this too far. 
Brief Interview with Ville
Kerrang! Magazine spoke briefly with Ville Valo about what's going on with HIM.

Another Exclusive for the Dark Light site & forum
Just in time for Heartagram Day! =)
My main Mod (& Sister from another Mister), Tragedy & I teamed up & got another exclusive commission for our members to earn in the Dark Light forum.
This artwork was done by the amazing Hunter Cazador. =)
For this one, we decided to go with a previous 'look' of Ville's with the updated tattoos.
We hope you are as excited about this stunning artwork as we are.
If you love to make graphics or tags, this is another wonderful tube to use for that.

Dark-Light.us Updates
I've revamped the main page to the Dark Light site to make it a bit more 'user-friendly' in the sense that it better explains how to navigate through the site. This is something I've been wanting to do but have never had the time- until now, that is.
I'm hoping this is better for you all. =)
Also, as of this past Autumn, the Dark Light site does now have a forum. With the HIM-Addicts site on hiatus until Summer (hopefully), the Dark Light forum has been the hot spot for some of us. Any one is welcomed to join. We are fortunate enough to have some amazing members there & would love to see you there, too. You can find us here: Dark Light forum. We look forward to seeing you. =)

Dark-Light.us' Anniversary Gift
This past year has found the world of HIM rather quiet with little to almost no news, save for a few tidbits here & there. To keep myself busy, I found myself getting into a different form of doing graphics- tagging. It was something I had been doing for a while, but on a much different level.
Over the months I have enjoyed & discovered phenomenal pinup art from the likes of Keith Garvey, Elias Chatzoudis, Ismael Rac & Jay Trembly- to name a few of the greats. And I have & always will thoroughly enjoy using their art in my own creations.
BUT! There is one artist I discovered- and have since considered him a great friend- that totally blew me away & that artist would be Arthur Crowe.
Arthur Crowe's work (in my way of seeing it) has a special 'spark' in it- its edgy, raw, beautiful & so much more. Arthur has a real gift for making his subjects look so REAL- down to the smallest detail of their tattoos.
In June I started considering having a commission of Ville Valo done to commemorate the upcoming Anniversary of this site. I knew in my heart of hearts that Arthur Crowe HAD to be the one to do it. I started talking with him to have this special artwork-this commission (a tube for making graphics & tags, to be exact)- done for the Dark-Light & HIM-Addicts sites. This commission celebrates Dark-Light.us being at its current address for 4 years & the Dark Light site being online for 5.
In mid-July, I nearly dropped my laptop when I received the 'proof' from Arthur in my email. I am not exaggerating when I say the work he did took my breath away- It was everything I expected from him & so much more. Ville himself would be proud of the likeness & how Arthur was spot on with every detail. At the time, I was speechless, excited & even now, I look at that tube & my mind is still blown with the incredible work he did on it for us. I absolutely love it!
Of course I've been wanting to show off this amazing commission from Arthur, but there was always the thought that news from HIM would come soon and I didn't want this to be overlooked/ overshadowed since it really is something special.
But, there hasn't been anything really happening in the Heartagram world. So now- finally, in these 'dry' times of no news from our favourite Finnish band, I have decided to officially & publicly reveal the Dark Light/ HIM-Addicts very special commission:
* Click pic for bigger.
A few members at HIM-Addicts have earned & enjoyed this tube & everyone there has absolutely loved it, all around. I have since 'moved' it to be earn-able on the new Dark Light forum, for anyone who does graphics and would be interested in having it. This is not available anyplace else except through the Dark Light site/ forum & it is required for you to have a license issued from me to use it.
In time, we will be working on future commissions with Arthur- yes, he's been forewarned- & I personally cannot wait to have them.
I hope you all appreciate the fine art we have above. Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
In the next few days, I'll have a little something special for all of you with this art.
Arthur- thank YOU for giving us something spectacular. You are amazing, my friend. =)
