I suppose, dear Mortals, that you're probably wondering how ol' Blackwolf can make his magic work for YOU, eh what? Well, if that be case, feast thine eyes upon this short list of the stuff for which this humble old Mage is available:
STORYTELLING & WISDOM: This, of course, is the heart and soul of all that I do --- especially with the children of New York, of whom I am especially fond. It particularly helps if the kids (and let me stress here that my specific target audience is between ages 9 and 13) are good, well-behaved, terrifically skilled in the fine art of proper use of the Imagination ---- and especially if they know how to believe in Dragons! (Oh, and did I mention that I happen to have one or two connections with a certain K. Kringle?)
COMEDY/COMMENTARY: Always clean, but occasionally with a grumble or two about learning about how to accept, and for that matter, adjust to, living in ye Byg Appyl. Hey, you try being 4800 years old, and having to deal with life in the greatest City in the Mortals' Realm .....'tis not exactly a walk through the Enchanted Forest! (Heh-heh!)
CALLIGRAPHY/TYPOGRAPHY: Ah yes, there's nothing I like better than putting my 10 very talented fingers to work! I can liven up your party invitations, business cards, letterheads, announcements, etc. From hip-hop to classical, from early Renaissance to standard New Age lettering, I can design anything on paper that you wish for!
WEBSITE LOGO DESIGN: That's the other type of work I do with my aforementioned 10 talented fingers --- and you will observe that I do not use any computers to do it, either! Previously, I've designed website logos for the popular singing duo The Bedlam Bards, as well as the official logo for my fellow Mage, Ryleh the Wanderer; and I've also created a page for the Texas-based fortress of Dragonlord Kilber K'zar.
WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAY AND BACHELOR PARTIES, BAR/BAT MITZVAHS: And, if ye be willing to take on the challenge, I can do these events, too! I can, if thou wouldst desire, add a silly, sometimes strange touch to your special moment in time! From a black-tie affair to a full-costume celebration, I can bring a little merriment to your special event! The format is as follows: for weddings, I bless the bride and groom; for all other special events, I use the same routine as when I do my regular outdoor gig in Central Park's Bethesda Terrace. Afterwards, I gather the kids around for a short storytelling session, followed by one or two photo ops and the traditional meet-n'-greet!
And of course, I'm still seeking out financial and/or other arrangements regarding Blackwolf the Dragonmaster's First Movie! For you newcomers to these Dark Chambers, the project consists of two parts. Part One is my backstory, presented in its entirety; whereas Part Two is your typical day-in-the-life-of-a-Dragonmaster adventure!
Here now are my asking fees for these various talents:
* Storytelling, comedy and/or commentary: $200-$250
* Calligraphy and website logo design: $250-$300
* Personal appearances, including traveling and other expenses: $450-$600
Regarding weddings and other personal appearances, my rules are as follows:
First and foremost, SERIOUS ENQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE! Interested Mortals who wish to step up to the challenge of having your Dragonmaster crash thy party are advised to provide a proper phone number, e-mail address, and other contact information, lest I wind up in a situation where I cannot locate said person or place that hired me (this being New York City, one can never be too careful, you know!). Also, a face-to-face meeting is certainly a MUST! I can contact you regardless of whether or not I'm wearing my full costume; I only ask in return that you be specific as to where EXACTLY you are located, be ye in New York or elsewhere, as I have no wish to track people down needlessly! Once we seal the deal (in writing, preferably, mind you!), you pay me in cash immediately once I show up; at which point, I do ye olde meet-n'-greet/photo op thing, annd then properly take my leave.
To those of you working the Live-Action Role-playing Circuit, or LARP, this friendly warning:
My status as a non-card-carrying member of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists does not excuse me from obeying that organization's by-laws; which means that I am accepting written contracts only, lest some twit dare weasel his/her way out of hiring me. Which is to say: If you brew this particular beer, you ARE expected to drink it! English translation: pay me period, or I don't work for you at all!
To contact me concerning your desire to hire New York's Unofficial Wizard, please consult the Reaching the Dark Chambers segment. I would enjoy hearing from you, and I stand ready to accomplish whatever mission you can grant me! (We Wizards just love to take on challenges; and that's why we're so fond of those who take the time to use their imaginations!)
