Artists are people too. We all have our moods. Maybe Jason hadn't gotten to eat yet that day. I've had my mood elevate immensely just from having a pretzel. I've gotten to meet Jason numerous times - he's not the most boisterous guy - truth be told Toca and Ian were both more talkative and personable. But, Jason was always very cordial and always hung out and signed every last autograph that was requested of him, even when a fan had several things for him to sign - he didn't put a quota or limit on what he would do - he was careful and gracious enough to sign everything. But, I think that it should be noted - that I've seen people be just as rude to Jewel as anyone has ever claimed that she has been to them. Standing behind venues after shows I've seen her do anything from sign for every last person to get right into her vehicle that was waiting for her. Some of the times that she's gotten into her waiting van or S.U.V. there have been comments yelled out about she must be too good for us - or even so far as obscenities being yelled. Hey, I've had bad days to the point where I didn't even want to answer the phone - let alone deal with dozens of excited strangers. To yell rude and obscene things because you didn't get an autograph is just way too inappropriate. I don't believe that I've heard it after shows from the people on this list - at least I hope not. Artists don't need to give us anything that they don't want to. They have already given us their creations and their performances. That's why we're there in the first place. Some people gift Jewel at her shows. Then they expect something in return. What kind of gift giving is that? Is that the spirit of giving that we've ever be brought up on. To give a gift is to give something with no strings attached, that's what a gift is. To bring something to an artist at their show is in return for what they have already given you - - their music. The autographs and photos are extra gifts that they give us when they feel secure enough and happy enough to do it. To expect more is to put undue expectations on them. (i.e. to hold up flowers but to hold your other hand out further expecting a handshake first is a self centered gesture at best - it was a contrived attempt at self satisfaction and not a gift - and that's all that I will say about that). Anyway - it's a bit of a rant - but, something that I feel is worth saying. I hope that my thoughts were well organized enough for you all to make sense of them. If not, that's okay too - just felt like getting it off my chest.

I need someone to make cover art for a series of Jewel DVDs probably about 30 discs total, only one double sided insert per disc. The requirement is that you have to have a DVD-ROM and be able to do screen captures of the discs to use for the covers. If you need details and think you can do the work, please email me, Im willing to make the complete set available to you in exchange for the work.

I ask this every couple of months or so, but if anyone has access to wireimage.com or another professional image picture source of the like, I have several thousand Jewel pictures available to trade electronically (via ftp), theyre also all on one CD.
