If for example, someone wanted me to paint Mickey Mouse on their kids bedroom wall, is it legal to be paid for that??? I am not "selling" the characters image to the public. I know you can if it is for personal use with no intention to sell it, wouldn't I be selling my painting skills since it isn't to the "public"?

Do you think that one day every guitar riff, lyric, poem, novel idea, movie script, painting idea, EVERY IDEA will be already used?

Sometimes i can't go to sleep at night,
Is it because youre not by my side,
All i have to do is close my eyes,
And there's youre face in my sight,
Im afraid to go to bed at night,
What if you're not there to tuck me in,
You're not there to hold me tight,
Let me enjoy this beautiful sin,
By spending the night in your arms,
This is my little paradise,
Just you and me for eternity,
Staring into your deep brown eyes,
A goodnight kiss is all i need,
And to my fears i pay no heed,
I'm afraid to step in to bed at night,
What if you're not there tonight,
If you've left me all by myself,
With only your pictures on my shelf,
I stand on the doorstep,
And i close my eyes,
I picture myself in our paradise,
I fall asleep with your smile on my mind,
And i hope when i wake up its you that i find!

I want to know if its illegal to create an artistic image of a celebrity (stencil, drawing, painting etc) and sell it for a profit. Do you need to get permission?? I know that photographers take pictures of celebrities and sell them at a high price to magazines. I just wanted to know if it is the same/different for art. Thanks!

1. for all things (x), (x) has at least one characteristic.
2. in order for all things (x) to has at least one characteristic, (x) must exist.
3. at least one characteristic all things (x) can have is the characteristic of non-existentence.
4. Therefore, it is impossible for all things (x) not to exist.

ps I hope you see the paradox, yet you also see how the truth of my premises support the truth of my conclusion.

I mean more fantisy books. I have already read all the Harry Potter books, the Lord of the Rings books, Eragon, Eldest, and Enders Game. Can anyone tell me what other fantisy books are good besides these?

I had an interview with one today. It was short... he told me he liked my style and that i could do commercials and film... He said he would call me sometime next week... Think he'll call back? The interview went well... He asked me a few questions and told me he would show my photo to a few people and see what they had to say.

But what should i look for in him? I know the "don't pay for anything" rule, so spare me.

The agency is in a huge building in Hollywood so I'm pretty sure it's legitimate. But like i said i know nothing about agents...

Do talent agents usually recruit right away? or does everyone get the "i'll give you a call in a week"

I really want to audition for some musicals at my community theatre in the coming months.
I have a problem though.
I have never been in any shows before.
I am talented.
I have been taking voice lessons for 2 years and acting lessons for a year.
What would I put on my resume?
Most people who are going to be auditioning are people who have been doing musical theatre since they were 3.
I am 17 and I have done nothing except for taking lessons.
They will be able to put all the shows that they have been in on their resume and it will look like I have no experience.
Does it matter that I have never been in any plays or anything?
I really want to be in a show!

I have thought of Augustus and Julius Caesar, but any other ideas? They can be biblical, but dont have to be. Really any historical friendship and loyalty.

The book I'm looking for is the following: it was the actual testimony of an Aztec man as recorded by Catholic friers a couple hundred years ago. After the man's testimony reached the King of Spain, the King demanded that the Aztec man not be harmed. However, the Aztec was already dead - killed for not converting to Christianity. I'm looking for the book that contains his testimony. I believe that it is called "Aztec" but I'm unable to actually find it on Amazon.com or anywhere else. If someone can help me locate it, that would be great. If you can find it online, please give me the link. Thank you!

For all you young thespians out there, does anyone know who wrote a fabulous duet acting piece entitled, "Down Came the Rain?" It is a great play starring two men: a mentally challenged boy and his older, reluctant brother. The song, "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" is an important part of the play. I am trying to order this book from Inter-Library Loan at my university, but I have to know the author. Thanks for any help you can give me!

Best,
K.

I'm 14 I have taken acting classes for awhile and have caught the acting 'bug', I would like to be an actress, but I'm always being warned about the entertainment world. I think if I ever did become a movie star, then it might be a good thing, because I think I might enjoy the public eye (I'm not a huge attention seeker, though!) and I think that if I made a lot of money from acting and became rich, then I could help fight aids in africa or something like that, and use my fame for a good cause.

But I am scared cuz so many actresses I like today have stated that the buisness is just 'crazy'. I mean, I am confident enough to think that I could get a big break if I worked for it, but I'm thinking, 'okay, I love acting. But what if I ever became famous and I didnt have any privacy? And also I've heard my parents so many people say that they hate Hollywood today. I never listened to them becuz I figured I would never care about Hollywood anyway, But now that I want to be an actress...?

I was just outside, I stared at a bottle of coke. I focused on it, and my vision dimmed all around except for that object. The things in my sight besides the coke became dim and I lost my thought, and didnt think of anything at all as long as I stared. Why is that when you meditate this, among other things happen?
