Hey you! Come here...
Added 2021-03-27 16:45:03 +0000 UTCHey guys, I'm super busy this weekend finishing stuff for the new album release. So I need your opinion...
Today I'll be working on the listening companion book, which I'm expecting to send for proofing to Amazon on Monday (it's 90 pages long today and has more pictures than the previous two), supervising and tweaking a series of limited edition stickers (you'll be the first to have them as patrons), and before Monday I have to have purchased mail boxes, a printer (Murphy's law anyone?), set up the marketing campaign with a little company we're going to hire (it's likely that the release will finally be next Friday). After that I have to prepare all the social media artwork, rebuild the website before Friday because CDs are arriving on Tuesday, edit the video commercials and start working on the music video... OMG
Well, since I have limited time and I don't want you to think I don't care (because I do, a lot -- over thinker me LOL), I need you to choose what you want me to share this weekend with you. I promise after Monday I'll post more (we shot 4 new galleries for you this week, I just can't edit any of them yet but I will once I deliver the book). So here are the options:
PS: before I forget, Jose Spinnin will be broadcasting live from the studio on his Twitch this afternoon at 4 PM (GMT-6). Come by and say hi, follow this link: https://twitch.tv/josespinnincortes
PS2: He and I were talking earlier about nudity as part of my creation process, because I'm having a hard time deciding what's right marketing wise to promote my things. I would never pretend to have a mainstream career, I see my stuff as entertainment for adults, but that's difficult to translate to the general public. Any thoughts? Too much information?
PS3: haven't included video in the options because I hadn't had the time to finish any of the special edits I'm working for you, but they will be once the release it's delivered in full.
PS4: please vote and comment :)

Thank you so much dear Steve and Daniel, you're an inspiration :) I have the intention of resume the Youtube live broadcasts next Saturday and one of the things I'm looking forward is to share them with you. One thing I love about Patreon is that it has allowed me to have a more direct conversation and to push things in many directions. My only concern sometimes is that by talking too much about the process I could spoil the magic, or that by taking some aspects too far and sharing it unfiltered I might be giving the wrong signals, even when it's something that I did willingly exploring (I guess mostly because my mainstream career was at a time when marketing was all about pretending to be someone else). Sometimes I wonder if I should keep some of those things to myself, but then I realize the next day I would be dishonest doing that, and all this adventure is about being true. TMI? I don't know, in the end each day just happens once in a lifetime. Hugs and kisses guys ❤️😘❤️😘

2021-03-28 02:46:37 +0000 UTCI would have to reaffirm everything that James stated above. I think he nailed it......the BK world is YOUR creation so make it the way you feel best expresses who YOU are and who YOU want the rest of the world to see. Those of us who already know and love you from Patreon will continue to support you with all of our comments and praises and love and respect and most of all COMMITMENT in whatever direction the future has in store for both you and Jose. True friends are those people in your life who know you so well they can finish your sentences before you even have a chance to get the words out of your mouth .....or they are the ones who also know ALL the words to the melody that plays within your beautiful passion filled heart .....that they can sing along with YOU!!!! XOXOXOXOX MoonBEAR and Steve

2021-03-28 02:40:31 +0000 UTCBelieve me Mike, Jose & I are aware and grateful for your appreciation and friendship, you're a important part of our lives and we are always looking for ways to keep the flame alive. It's very rewarding and helpful to have this feedback and support. And yes, this Patreon is my special "secret garden". If someday I earn enough I'll fly you all to some place so we can get together, that would be heaven on earth :) Let's make it happen, I should set up that as a goal here (the other day I discover you can set up those things). Hugs, love and kisses ❤️😘😘

2021-03-28 00:30:46 +0000 UTCYou are one of the greatest people that I have met in a long time. The amount of dedication that you put in your work is incredible. From your music, production, video, website and of course here on patreon, We see the hard work. I look at this patreon as you giving back to your fans and friends. All the demos, news, and yes the pictures...but from day one you have always kept it classy. I wish you could know how much respect I have for what you and Jose spinnin have done. This patreon has kept me sane from the crazy year we have had. I enjoy everything about it. Thank you again for everything you guys have done and continue to do. Biggest group hug🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

2021-03-27 23:50:22 +0000 UTCThank you so much dear James, it’s really a privilege for me as a creator to be able to have this place where it feels safe and I can push forward on everything I do, that’s inspiring and it’s really making me rise the bar, and is you who I have to thank for that. Today’s conversation started when Jose reminded me I began to auto censor myself because of YouTube and guys taking it the wrong way and just treating me as a piece of meat (well, it’s more complex than that but it had more to do with the fear I had my family would get to see some of what I did out of context). I’ve been wondering lately if I’m doing the right thing here and out from here (here I’m more myself, on social media I’m mostly scared I’m going to be bullied or over exposed). I decided I’ll keep playing by ear, just being myself and as true as I can to my desires and instincts (not always easy LOL). Hugs and kisses, and again, thank you ❤️❤️😘😘

2021-03-27 23:04:10 +0000 UTCI love that we can visit your Patreon and expand the fantasies that you create for us. Seeing your beautiful naked body is an incredible part of that. But you should only do what you are comfortable doing. If that’s being more naked in public ie Twitter etc or being more covered up then do that. I love what you share on here and value the privilege. It’s your choice. You created the BK world and you should enjoy it as much as you can. Excellent music, art, videos, shows etc. I love it all.
