@Brendonshayart Hi ! i have one question for you ;

I guess Madonna knows about that chat thread you have opened on the forum. I'd like to know if this is your idea and you told her and she said "Yeah go for it" or is it her idea that you discuss the process on a fan forum ?!

Brendon has openly shared his experience on his instagram and M follows him - Aldo has done the same

Yes, Burning Up was amazing. But the Lucky Star album cover wasn't. 

Has it ever been confirmed that Martin was part of that design process for this Lucky Star cover?

I imagine Martin's design was something different maybe similar to Burning up. I'm not sure but even though I like the photos from the shoot I do think she made the right choice in re-shooting and going with a black and white photo. Going behind Martin's back instead of just telling him she didn't want to use his design was shady but she also gave him a lot of opportunities and supported him.

Here are some photos from the Edo Bertoglio shoot with Martin in April 1983

This would've been a nice cover, she looks ethereal but the Gary Heery shoot in May 1983 with the accessories has the downtown cool vibe.

Martin seems to be directing her on her hand pose. Maybe he came up with the concept for the shoot

Debi Mazar did her makeup for the shoot

That comment comes across very rude. That would be like someone saying to you ' would love to see more of abstract expressionist painting from you. Here's mine.'

Brendon's work may not be to your personal taste but hey, it's immortalised on a Madonna album cover 

It was meant to be a cheeky "good work, but can you do this?" thing. And rude in purpose. :cute:

And no, I do not want to do abstract stuff, my brain just isn't wired for it. This is my one and only try at colourful sort-of-abstract with the Breathless Mahoney form. :lol:

Welcome! 25 here so I understand Madonna almost second exposure from a family member than discovering her initially on your own. Also, beware we are as nice as we are critical sometimes. If M read half what went on here, she’d prob address us in an Insta story with the worse filter she could find just for us! Haha! Congrats on the opportunity and keep it up! There’s a lot I’ve seen on your insta that was just gorgeous and iconic. Literally would hang it up if I could haha.

Thank you so much , im getting much of my original madonna art photographed as to create art prints which will be available by the end of the year, thank for following! xoxoxoxox

Why did no one tell me we have a celebrity here!

@Brendonshayart Welcome to the forum!! 
It’s so awesome to have someone who’s worked with M on here! I’ve been loving your artwork on insta for some time. 
 

Hopefully we see more of your work in the future on official releases
