On September the 6th 2009 I finally got to see my kids, after 6 months, so sad, it was a joy to spend some time with them at Tendersitas in Ortigas, and as usual she (Kay) was asking for money, even though I don't have access to my kids, I have seen my kids only three times in 14 months, and I only live a couple of KM from them in Makati, I gave her 1,000ph from the rent money, I will just have to find it from some other source when the bills come around next month.
Let me explain why I don't have the cash to give for maintenance, first I am on a War-pension, I am unemployed, with very little coming in to pay the bills, at the end of the month there is very little to survive on, I have paid her 27,000ph and 16,000ph from property she sold of mine, Kay got 90 percent of all we had bought in the 6 years of our marriage, I want to help in everyway I can to see my kids get a good education, but I am unable to support myself hardly at the moment, I love my kids (all eight of them) so very dearly.
Kay will have to be the one to explain to the kids when they grow up, why Daddy was not able to see them as much as I wanted, I remain in the Philippines just hoping one day I will get regular access to see my kids, Kay is earning over 100,000ph per month, and she receives 14 months pay from her current job, with target pay on top, she earns over 4 times what I earn, and she is screaming for money from me, this is a woman who earns over a Million ph yearly, I am in the process of writing the true story of what has happened from the first day I met Kay, don't get me wrong, I love Kay so very much, but people need to know the truth of what has happened, they all think I am the bad man, this is not the real truth of the matter.

Kay keeps making promises to allow me to see my kids, but as usual, she takes away the joy, she keeps on breaking dates for me to see my kids.

Sorry for not being around for the last couple of weeks, but things have not been so well with me, my Father passed away on 25th August, kinda feel guilty in many ways, still not seen my kids (Amanda and Allysha) thank you Jasen for your words of Comfort, I Love all my children so much, breaks my heart when Kay will not allow me to see my kids.

on Friday 24th of July 2009, I asked Kay if I could see my kids, she replied "maybe Sunday afternoon" that would be the 26th of July, it is now 27th July 2009 Monday, and she still has not got back in touch with me, I have asked to see my kids a thousand times, and every time she says yes or maybe, but when the day actually gets here, she very rarely ever gets back in touch, she has Alienated Amanda and Allysha from their Father, the girls are slowly forgetting their father, my heart has been broken a thousand times, and there is nothing I can do about it, I think of my kids every day of my life, I have lost so many things in my life, not just earthly possessions either, and most of everything I have lost is because of one person.
Whom I still LOVE.

Kay never did get back to me to give me that number to be in touch with Amanda and Ally, I didn't expect her to, but this is bad, not being able to see and touch my own children.

Kay answered my yahoo messenger txt yesterday, I asked for a number so that I could call my kids, all she was interested in was maintenance, she did say she would call me later in the week to give me a number to speak to the kids (Amanda and Ally).
But I believe she will not get back in touch, nor will she give me a number so that I can talk to my kids, been over a year now since she sent me that dreaded txt message.
Sorry there has been no movement on the artwork from myself, been busy doing Video for the net, didn't realize that I would be so very busy for such along time, I will be updating my working the art department soon, so keep coming back to see what I have in stall, all the best to you all here at Artwanted.

Will have to start thinking about getting help to see my kids, Kay is deliberately Alienating their father.
OK people, I have not uploaded anything for a couple of days, this is due to the fact I had to reformate my hard drives, and with that comes a whole load of having to download many drivers.
All the best to you all here at Artwanted.com.

Still no word from my kids, I fear I may have to let my lawyer do something about it, Kay seems to think, the Children are hers to do what she pleases, I will not desert my kids, if I have to fight for them, then that's what is going to happen.
I do not wish to hurt Kay in any way, she was a dream that was shattered by her, not I.

I am at present writing my Biography in full, it will be posted as soon as I have finished it, when I talked to Kay the other day, she asked if I could help with her bills, I said I was not in a position to help. as I have no income, the honest truth is, I would gladly help if I could, this is the honest truth, but there are other reasons why I stopped payments, apart from the fact I don't have any money.
All will be reveled in the Biography.

Another day and more work, Illustrator is becoming second nature to me now, feeling comfortable just as I do in Photoshop.
Still waiting to hear from Kay, with reference to hearing from My children, still no contact, not seen them from Xmas, I know Amanda will be missing me, it's so sad that things have gone this way.

Hi
The more I work with Illustrator the more frustrating it becomes, 4gig is not enough to work on large files, I am just beginning to see the limitations of this software, I have grown to like working in Illustrator as long as the images are small, but when you start to work with files on an Artboard as big as 72inch by 32inch, then all sorts of problems start to creep in, thing such as saving, my images can take over twenty minutes to save, yes..... that's right 20 MINUTES, sometimes it even crashes.
When working with Photoshop in the same size files, I don't have any of these problems, even when the final image can some times be as big as One gig in size, Illustrator need so much memory for so simple an image, I could work in smaller size and enlarge I hear you say, nope..... thats not possible, because I use alot of blurr, when you upscale these images in Illustrator, and you use alot of blurr, the image has to be reworked on all over again, making time of the essence, it's like working on the same image twice, I only hope by installing another 4 gig this problem will be solved.
Still not heard from my wife with reffrence in talking to my children, she still has not been in touch, she has changed her cell number, and continues to ignore my yahoo txt.
Anyway, all the best to you all here at Arwanted, and thanks for all the views, remember to leave a comment, take care and all the very best.
Keith.

Having an awfull lot of problems with Illustrator, Anchor points that just wont be selected, and also Anchor points zooming into Oblivion leaving coulor trails behind, this is so time consuming to have to go back to, Illustrator could be a fantasic peice of software if they would only fix all these bugs, even in CS4 there are many bugs not been given the Attension they deserve to sort out.
Still not heard from Kay about given me a phone number to talk to my kids, this is rediculous.
All the best to my family and those here at Artwanted, Okey dokey, back to work, will be uploading some more files today, take care and all the very best to you all.

Once again, Have asked Kay to let me speak to my kids, this was done on my (50) Birthday, she did actualy reply, she promised to send me a number so that I could call them, but as usual she never got back to me again, and I never recieved the number to be in touch with my kids.
Hopefully she will reply today, keeping my fingers crossed.

another day another piece of art, and another day I miss my family, as we go through life, we make mistakes, and some times we are unable to do anything about it, well..... I suppose that's life.
Take care of your loved ones as if there is no tomorrow, I know I sound like an old sappy, but these lessons we learn in life, should be accepted we open arms, and who know's! maybe sometimes somethig good comes from it all, we can only live and learn as best we can, and hope the damage is minimum.
All the best to you all here in the Philippines, oh yes...... and artwanted as well, take care.

Hi All.
Sunday today, but this is not a rest day for me, I tend to work on the computer everyday, I will be doing some tutorials on the way I do things here in the near future, any feed back from you guys n Dolls, would be greatly appreciated, After all I would like to know I'm not wasting my time.
It would be nice to be able to upload a video tutorial here at Artwanted, maybe in the near future there will be a section to allow for this.
The CARTOONS ELITE group found in the Community section of Artwanted, is starting to grow little by little every week, thanks for Joining Jerry, always nice to see a new face here in the community section.
Yes..... I'm still learning Illustrator every day, finding new ways to do things, and finding bad ways not to do them ha ha ha, made many mistakes, after all I'm only Human, I am also starting to get back into Adobe Premiere, this is so that I can upload some tutorials to Utube, so you will be seeing my work appearing there also.
And last but not least, all my love goes to my wife Kay, and the kids Amanda and Allysha Rhodes, take care and all the very best for the future.
Keith.

I seem to be coming very popular here at Artwanted, I have had more hits on my images in the last two months, than in the whole of 2008, I get more than 2,000 (and growing daily) hits every month now, but yet, there are very few comments these days, seems people here at Artwanted are a little shy to leave comments, the only other reason I can explain so many hits, is that people are coming here just to right click and save my work to there computer.
Still waiting to hear from my kids, I fear another man is taking over the role as father to my children, I wish Kay all the very best in her endeavers for the future, and I hope we do still keep in touch with each other, for the sake of our children, we have been seperated since June 28th 2008, although she moved out long before that, I was left alone in a country that was not my own, it all happened so fast, I was unable to remain in a house that brought so many bad memories, I miss my family so badly, but so many bad thing's have been said, all in all, I do love my wife, even after what has happened to me.
All my love to my family xxx
Keith.

A new day and still no news of my kids, I'm unable to fight for them in court because I don't have the finnacial backing to hire a lawyer, I fear my kids will forget who I am, because of their young age, young children forget quickly, I throw myself into work, as it is the only way I can express myself, at least I will have something to show my kids when I finaly do get to meet them again, people ask me why don't I play hard nose and fight back, the reason for this is because I still love my wife, I will always love her till the day I die, no matter what she has done to me, these blog entries are for my own benefit as well as my Children.
All my love goes to my wife and Children, take good care of our children Kay, they are the one thing you can't destroy that belong to both of us.
Anyway back to work, doing a lot of Tarpaulin designs, with images of my kids as the models, I love you all, don't forget me so quickly.
Keith.

Sorry I have not kept up with my blog entries as of late, but so many bad things have happened in the last year, I have split up from my wife and kids nearly a year ago now, but my wife will not allow me to see my kids, Amanda and Allysha Rhodes.
I am a struggling artist like many of you here, I am trying to find ways for it to support me, but up till now all attempts have failed, I am supporting myself on a war pension, hardly enough to get along, esspecialy when the exchange rate is so low here in the Philippines.
I have only seen my children twice in the last year, the first was for 4 hours in a shopping mall wich I walked 16km there and 16km back, I would walk a 100km to see my kids smile when they see me, I do still love my wife, but she has taken another road in life that nearly killed me, yes.... there was a time when I wanted to commite suicide, but I tend to look on life in a way, I know there are others in this world who are far worse off than I, so I struggle on every day, hoping my art will on day support me enough to fight for my children, I'm not trying to take them away from their mother, I love her too much to do that, I just want partcial custody, I want to be apart of the lives of my children, even my artwork has changed because of all this that is happening in my life, yes there are days when I'm down and days when I try to look to a better future.
I keep praying that I will one day be apart of my kids lives again, before it's too late that they forget me, all the best to all members here at Artwanted, take care, and love the ones around you with all your heart, some times we are tested, just don't take your life as I almost nearly did, there are always happeir days ahead.
All the best.
Keith

Hi all, I'm not really very good at this sort of thing, but here we go, first of all I have just come back from Hong Kong on the 9th of this month (Feb 2002), for the first time, I went alone, I have to admit, it just wasn't the same without my wife, it's along story and at present we have split up, but I do and have always loved my wife Kay Rhodes and always will, we have two great kids, Amanda and Allysha Rhodes.
Now that I'm on my own, I have all the time in the world to dedicate to my artwork, which I love to do 16 hours a day.
I am interested to know if any one has sold any work here at Artwanted, I have been here for years and never sold anything on Artwanted, yet I have sold many pictures localy, so whats going on here, I suspect many people come here just to "right click and save image as" I have found my work in many other websites, none of them have registered with me.
I would love to say thank you to a very close friend of mine, she was there when I needed someone so badly, a true friend I will never forget, I truely believe she saved my life at that time when I needed someone so badly, this person knows who I am talking about, for reasons that are obvious I will not name this person here, this person knows how much I love my wife and children, she tried so badly to get things right with my family, thank you.
Most of the work I do here at Artwanted is aimed at Tarpaulin, for I believe the way I do things is not yet done here in the Philippines, I have come to love this country, but it is so overwhelmed by corruption, but one day I do believe this country will one day be a great nation, if it could just get things right, the people here are warm and friendly, there hospitality is second to none, and their friendship is ever lasting.
