All Your Octopi Belong To Us!

It’s a crazy world… I submit a press release to two local newspapers based in St Austell, regarding the opening of my new studio and the fact that part of my business works as a Social Enterprise and within a week I’m world news and in trouble with the Church of England and Christians around the globe.

I’m totally and utterly gobsmacked! A few statistics…

:bulletpink: Over 16,800,000 hits on neolestat.com this month

:bulletpink: 117 countries have visited my site from a possible 195 including The Vatican City and Nepal... Perhaps Pope Benedict XVI and MaKuNe are fans?

:bulletpink: Over 1300 sites link to neolestat.com now

:bulletpink: The bandwidth used has exceeded 570 GB. I really hope I have unlimited bandwidth in my hosting!

:bulletpink: 44% of the people that come to my site stay more than half an hour

:bulletpink: Roughly estimated, 78% of visitors to my site add me to their favourites

:bulletpink: Of all the letters and emails I’ve received, for every one that criticises four applaud me

:bulletpink: On the day the news story broke I was the 3rd most popular news story on the BBC World News website, the most trusted news site in the world. Higher that day than even Michael Jackson.

:bulletpink: Four National newspapers ran the story; The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Independent and The Sport

:bulletpink: I’ve been interviewed on the radio three times and the TV twice

You couldn’t buy that kind of publicity…

But it doesn’t detract that I still have a possible court case to fight against the Church. It’d be amazing if you guys could show your support so I present to you once more the Neolestat Mug:


I’m not looking to benefit financially here so you have the choice of hitting the ‘buy this print’ button or going to `Flutterings mugs for charity page and buying it in aid of cancer research. All I want from you is for you to raise a toast for me, using this mug, regardless of who you bought it from.

With best wishes and thanking you for your support; past, present and future.

Andy ‘neolestat’ Craddock

I've Been Mugged!



Community Choice



Art Trade – Kinda!

You may or may not have noticed while you browse my gallery that quite a few of my pics are available as prints. Getting to the point; originally, I wanted to see if I could make a little moolah out of dA but it seems that for most of us it sure don’t work that way. Yeah, ok, I sell a few prints here and there but far too few to rave about or to make any difference to my finances. A year or so back I even changed my payment type to deviant dollars rather than go through the hassle of cashing cheques. It pays my way on dA and lets me help out here and there by slipping the odd Subscription to people or groups I care about.

As you are probably aware I’ve recently moved house, my walls are bare and so I came up with a happy little plan:

I want you to buy my art. I urge you to buy my art so that in return I can buy the art of others here and thus keep the artistic community economy on dA thriving. Think of it as a moving-in gift with benefits. You guys buy my work, I get deviant dollars for it that I spend on artists within our community and thereby decorate my walls. Meh, it might even be you I buy art from so think of it as a trade if you will. Sure it’s a gamble, I might not buy your work but I do promise that I won’t be turning those dollars into cash and you’ll get some rather natty photography by me for your own walls. It’s a win-win situation methinks.

Modelling 101 – Release Forms: [link]
Model Safety News Article: [link]

If you are a photographer or a model these are relevant to YOU. I would like to think as many people have seen these as possible. Please go to the news article if you haven’t already and add them to your page as a news fave using the heart icon below my avatar, top left of the page.

It will take less than a minute of your time to fave these yet could save models and togs a whole bunch of heartache and help weed out the sharks from the ethical. What’s to lose? I am only helping to promote safe, best practise photography to all.

Web Designer Wanted!

Cornwall based web designer fluent in PHP, CSS and Flash for a couple of new projects based in the St Austell area. Hopefully but not essentially you will be able to show live websites or a decent portfolio as examples of your work and be willing to experiment. Experience in shopping carts would be advantageous as would experience in designing photo galleries. If you follow my work you can imagine that my vision for these sites is a bit off kilter so a flair for design would be great. Commercial experience is not as important as enthusiasm and expertise. Payment is offered and negotiable. If interested please do not note me here on dA but send an email through the direct link at the bottom of this page or through my current website. As this could well be a fantastic commercial venture for us both please treat this as a professional application.

Neolestat.com News

The studio, art gallery and modelling agency are now open at: 4 East Hill, St Austell, Cornwall, PL25 4TW. Mob: +44 (0) 7795 262665.

The opening party was a complete success and ended with a drunk transsexual passed out in the rain on the pavement outside the shop. It couldn’t have been a more fitting tribute to the world of Neolestat.

Where else in Cornwall could glamour models mix with the BDSM crowd, the LGBT community, alternative models, a folk band and the locals in complete harmony? That’s what Neolestat is all about. Acceptance and contradiction.

Banned by dA, Be Warned!

If you want to see the Wakamezake shots dA banned they are now on my website in their own gallery: Wakamezake

If you want to see the Pinky pic dA removed for TOS violations look at image #7: Pinkys

Monitor Calibration Tool

The grey bar above is for monitor calibration of brightness and contrast. If set right you should see a slight shade difference between every letter A-Z… If you can’t. try and adjust so you can, you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes to the work on dA

Just read about you on the BBC's website, figured you'd be in the dA community somewhere. Sounds like a storm in a teacup, hope it turns out that way.

Best wishes and support.

hi, im new to this site. just had a look at your gallery. it is quite impressive! :D

just one query though, what church/chapel is it that you used for some of your shots and how did you manage to get allowed to use it in such a way? (i understand if you cannot disclose that on here, i just wandered)
