+ Why Children?
Once I was watching that TV show that happend to be my favorite
by that time. They made an episode with 2 really cute little girls.
I used to look for information on that TV show on the internet, magazines and
newspapers and it was not different when the girls's episode aired here in my
country.
I did a google search and found one of these girls's "official website"
and e-mailed her just to let her know that I enjoyed watching her episode of
that TV show and how great her performance was. I got an answer from her "mother"
a couple of days later.
After quite a few times e-mailing her I asked her "mother" if I could
make fan arts of her. Her "mother" gave me permission and that was
how I started making fan arts.
After that kid, I started getting requests to make fan arts of other artists
and soon I had a list of child actors to make fan arts for either requested
by their parents, agents, managers or fans).
After that I started building websites and one day I got an e-mail from this
girl's "mom" asking me to take over her child's website. So I did.
I enjoyed every moment and step of it.
After some time - months actually - I got an e-mail from a person saying that
this child was not online, that the person I was talking to was just someone
pretending to be her (that's why I wrote "mother").
I simply couldn't believe that someone would do that. It was impossible to me
to understand why someone would have fun doing this kind of thing. But then
I got an e-mail from someone who nowdays I consider a wonderful friend and he
told me how this person could not be really the kid I believed to be talking
to.
Then I realized how dangerous it was to make fan arts without being sure you
were talking with the real actor, afterall, I can't use a minor's image without
their parent's permission. That's why I want to write me a note to add their
children to my website. I know how dangerous internet can be and I rather never
getting permission from parents and stop making fan arts than having problem
with chidren's safety online.
I still work on websites for child actors. I do not get paid for
them, and that's what must make you wonder "Then why spending so much time
on it?".
Well, as I said before it was when I was still young and it became a hobby to
me. I don't know if I will keep working with websites for the rest of my life
(that's not my plan but you never know...) but while I do I have the best time
working on it.
Another thing that lead me to work with websites was that I always liked to learn new things. I was trying to learn English and talking to people from U.S.A., UK, Australia and even people from other countries who could speak English, made it much easier for me to learn. Yes, I learned English by myself - that's why I don't speak/write it very well -as well as I learned building websites by myself - I told you I like to learn new things :-D
Yet, why children?
I really don't know if it will be enough for you to know, but for one thing, I started having problems with webspace and had to remove some artists from this website. And then, well, my family is big and we have people all ages here. I could build a website for people aged 60-100 years old, to people who is 18-60 years old as well as I could make a website for children from 1 day - 18 years old. It would make no difference to me since my parents always told me that each age has its magic and each person in this world make this magic happen. But since I had more children than adults on this website I decided to make this website only for children, that way I would resolve my webspace problem and would keep most of the visits I used to get.
If it still doesn't answer your question, feel free to e-mail me.
Thank you for reading.
