Yo!!!! I DO remember that site, and I think I still have all the PSDs and dev files for it.
I have all of my old designs back to 1997 somewhere! 
BTW, for those of you who don't know... Jason introduced me to GFY.
Holla!

Ahh... not as much as I thought. I missed this line the first time I read it - caught it the second:
And, now that I think about it, Paul does kinda remind me of Andy Warhol a bit.Tell us you're goth and not emo...
But I'm sure Voodoo's the kinda guy that's got more than a 'moment' or '15 mins' coming his way.

Thanks Doo...I'm sure I've had my share of funked up posts over the years I have posted on GFY, especially since I am such a cynical and sarcastic SOB, but most of the time I genuinely mean no harm.
I'm enjoying this Ambush...I love characters - people that are larger than life, and have no problem expressing their individuality.
He does have the Warhol factor working for him.Ahh... not as much as I thought. I missed this line the first time I read it - caught it the second:

Now that everything is settled, let the lovefest continue...

Ok, back to the questions...
A: I moved around a lot, due to my family being scattered about the U.S., and I went where the work is. Born in Tampa, FL, raised in Texas / Cali and moved from coast to coast a couple times, Virginia, and a couple other places for short periods of time, eventually ended up in Washington, where I worked with my Brother on his old AdultCheck Gold sites, and built some TGPs etc... and worked on some online games he was developing. From there I moved back to Texas to hang w/ my family for a while, then went to Portland, to LA, back to Portland, and now back to LA where I plan on staying.5. You tend to move around a lot ? Texas, Washington, California. Are you hiding from the law?
Yes, the state police are looking for me. If you find me, please inform your local PD, because I have some doughnuts for them.

A: Initially, back in '96-'97, I was going to newsgroups, BBS sites, and chatrooms and started seeing a few porn sites come up here and there, spamming a bunch of the binary channels and putting banners up on the chatrooms. After clicking some of the links and visiting some of the sites in the newsgroups and checking them out I started seeing other much nicer sites around like CyberErotica, BabylonX, WatchCams, VoyeurDorm, ClubLove, SexHound etc... (some that I recall off the top of my head) and it seemed as though they were all doing well financially. It got me interested in trying to build some sort of site that was adult related, just to see where it would take me. Around this time, I spoke to my brother in Seattle, who told me that he was earning a nice amount from AdultCheck, and he looked at some of my site designs, and asked if I would come up there to help him with his designs. In exchange he would show me how to get setup with AC and show me how to code. That was the start. Unless, you count the collection of Playboy magazines my Dad gave me when I was like 13.6. How did you come to be in this industry?

A: Right Guard. Lightly spray your face prior to applying your water-based pancake or base (never use grease or oil based). It helps keep your face from melting in clubs or in hot weather. (Close your eyes when applying the antiperspirant). Exfoliate.8. It seems at once point you were into the whole "Goth" thing. Do you have any good make up tips?

A: The Shane's World staff is a top notch crew! We are now distributing a few of our titles through them, so we all work together on various projects.10. You seem to be very close to the crew at Shane's World. What's the
connection?
um. cake.

A: Yes, I played drums for 9 years back in Middle & High School, and into my early 20's. I was in 3 different bands in Silicon Valley. I also played a bit of piano, keyboards then picked up sequencing / tracking and using more electronic equipment. Recently I bought a couple electric guitars, however I'm not very good with them yet, but I'm learning the basics pretty quick. I can tune it now!11. Do you play any musical instruments?
The square root of pie, is cake.

A: This is a tough one. I think a bunch of people in this industry started out stealing content. 20 pics here and there from various places. Maybe a video clip if you could find them. Then you'd build a site around this newly aquired content and hopefully earn some $ on it. Most people moved on from this activity, as it's just not a good business model. That was then. NOW, I must say... These sites going up aren't just stealing 20 pics here and there, it's entire sites, DVDs, libraries, with massive amounts of content. BIG difference on the damage it causes, not much of a difference in the ethics behind it.12. What do you think about people who steal content?
At the root of this, I think of all content theft, and software / music piracy the same way. It has it's place, most people have participated in piracy in one form or another (you may not even know you have), but sucks when it happens to you.
some pies are good... but cake is better.

A: No. I was roommates with Mikie Mike for a while in Portland, we shared in the cooking & cleaning duties.14. Have you ever lived with another man where one of you cooked and the other cleaned?

A: It started at AT&T, when I used to work there. I was #1 on the sales floor for outbound cold call sales / telemarketing. They had new hires sit with me, and listen to my calls. Nobody quite knew what my "trick" was, but I had a 95% closing ratio usually. Some started saying it was "Voodoo" that I was doing over the phone to get them to buy. I kinda liked it, and it stuck. I started using it online around 1991-1992.15. Where did you get your nick name?

A: The theme on my right arm is mostly just ideas, or concepts that I just like. The majority of them have a "monster" theme, or some sort of horror movie concept behind them. Mainly because I like horror movies. The art style to them is one that gives me some inspiration when I am drawing. I am planning out my 2 full sleeves.16. You have some interesting tattoos that all seem to have a theme. What's that about?
Monster cake!

A: Not in the slightest. I would however, rather spend $100 at a strip club, where I can have beer + boobs, over $250 at a club where I only get beer.18. Are you obsessed with strippers?
I drink diet coke, so I can eat regular cake.

A: I'm not obsessed with anything. Midgets make me laugh. Who doesn't like midgets? Porn shoots NEED more midgets.19. Why are you obsessed with midgets? Why is every idea you have for a porn shoot have to involve a midget?

Voodo, I met in early 2004 always took the time to teach me stuff on icq and one of the few people i would talk to ideas about and get real solid feekback from.
HE has this ability to know how to push my buttons and can fuck me all day. He can get me so worked up and just when im ready to SNAP he pulls back and lets me know he;s kidding. You would think i would learn my lesson the first time but he gets me EVERY time.
I wish we could talk about the time me made me stay an extra day in La once and we decided to goto the howling moon a piano bar in universal studio's. It was the best nights i had in a long long time. OMG!
Who was with us Laurel, Laura, Sherie,Zebra.... shit Voodoo remind me. I still have pics of my back and leg when I decided to pull some jackass style moves into the bush.
Ideally i would love to see pics. lolDerek *Dwreck* Smout
