I just wanted to write to you guys that you are amazing and I am a great fan of yours. I had been to Salem this past summer and found your merchandise. I had purchased the Gothic Tarot and two cds. Mind you I had been a fan before that, which was why I purchased. I love Darklore Manor and was surprised how accurate the Tarot deck is. My gf loves to use my cards lol. Not to mention I am a great fan of Vargo's paintings. I just wanted you to know how greatful I am. Julie H [Apr 23, 2008] Joseph, I would like to thank the artist that could finally take all my fantasies, dreams, imagination and bring them to life on paper in living color. Your drawings took me to a place where I thought I was scared to go before. You art gives me more encouragement and inspiration to keep my mind open than I thought possible. Keep doing what your doing and you have a fan for life. I came across your music first on itunes to which I bought Transylvania, very very good CD by the way, it makes everything around me seem minimal when I am lost in your music. Your CD is one of my favorites, I love it. You are quite a talented threat Mr. Vargo! Many Blessings talented one, and thanks again. TaMarra Swensen [Feb 12, 2008] I just wanted to say a big thankyou for the goods I purchased from u recently. The service was fantastic and the items I received, even better than I could have hoped for. Thanks again. Mark & Jodie Beehag, Australia [Jan 28, 2008] Joseph, The Gothic Tarot Compendium arrived this week and inside the package was a surprise copy of your new CD Shadow of the Raven. It was fantastic. I listened to it and read your book all night long. Thank you so much for the inscription and for signing the book. The book has changed the way I think about everything. I knew it would change the way I see the cards but now I see 'images' everywhere I go and I interpret those images according to things you have said in your book. And, your music has become my music of choice. I'd rather listen to your music than any other music. In one sense you've ruined other bands for me because they all sound so dull by comparison. I'll be listening to a favorite band all the time thinking, 'I'd rather be listening to Nox Arcana. Did you know that Baltimore, my home town, was home to Poe? We sponsored a goth gathering a couple of years ago and we took the early arrivers to the Poe House and gravesite for a tour. These are beautiful gothic places right here in my backyard. Perhaps some day I can show you these places if you have not seen them already. You are a magnificent talent Joseph Vargo. Once again I thank you for sharing it so generously with me. Many blessings, David Dellman (www.daviddellman.com) Sept 15, 2007 I just received my order yesterday, and I wanted to thank you for the promptness and the care that was put into packaging the items I purchased. Thank you very much. Shankara Knightwolf [Apr 26, 2007] Late last week I ordered a calender, cd and sticker from you. I received them today. I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with my order and how quickly you sent it to me. Thank you so much. I've been a fan of Joseph Vargo/Monolith Graphics/Nox Arcana for quite some time and couldn't be happier with everything. You'll be hearing from me again. Melissa Green [Nov 14, 2006] Received my order today, very fast shipping. Loved everything, calendar, Gothic Tarot cards, FANGtastic artwork!!! Bill "Drac" Edwards, Fright Factory [Sep 14, 2006] I can't tell you how excited and pleased I was to receive your package in the mail! My girlfriend and I really enjoyed looking at all of your amazing artwork... I mean, it literally made my day! What an awesome body of work you've created! One thing is for certain, you are infused with the true gothic spirit. Eddie [Aug 21, 2006] Dear Mr. Vargo, I am just writting to say that you have the most beautiful works of art and beauty that I have ever seen. Jessica [04.20.06] I got the things today, couldn't believe it would go so fast!! Everything was in perfect condition also, no harm to package. And... what Great things!!! Really Beautiful!!! I took one of each of Nox Arcana's cds home, and I love the music! Never heard anything like it before. Was "sold" when I heard the samples on your website, and the cds really are quality! I put the stuff out in my shop late this afternoon, and hope that my customers find it as thrilling as I did! Monika, Shiptella-Sweden [02.21.06] I just got my gothic tarot deck. The artwork is incredible. Thank you very much for being so quick in the delivery. Steven Savoy [02.13.06] I wanted to tell you I love the artwork (as well as music) by Joseph Vargo and already had purchased two posters a few years ago, which I framed. I have recently purchased Nightwatcher poster, which I will matte and frame for my bedroom to mount above my bed (my own gargoyle for protection as I sleep). If anyone ever asks, the color Windsor Haze by Behr is a color paint that works very well with his artwork. I just tonight painted my room in it to coordinate to the art for the decor. The accent color is Fog, which also brings out the lighter hues...just in case you were curious. I have never painted, or decorated for that matter, an entire room based on one person's art, so this was a first for me. Thank you very much for the wonderful art, music and mystery.. it is loved by many, I am sure, but in very much particular by me... In gratitude... Lisa [01.22.06] Hello Joseph! Just thought I'd let you know the Winter's Knight cd arrived today, and it is wonderful. Just positively mesmerizing... even better than the sampler hinted at. I am continually awed and thrilled with your art, your music, and the extremely high quality of your products. The gorgeous Yule cards will be for special people, and many of them are eagerly anticipating their arrival. Your artbook is equally amazing, and I adore browsing it and gazing raptly at the art inside. You paint what I only desire to capture on film. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us! :D En aeternum, Bethany Lerie [11.18.05] Joseph, As usual your calendar is filled with outstanding art work! Nox Arcana's two most recent CDs, Transylvania & Winter's Knight, continue to thrill the dark recesses of my soul! Who can fear the darkness when it's filled with such beauty? Who can fear the night when its music resonates with the darkness within? ... and Christine, Just wanted to drop a line to tell you how much I love the Madame Endora 2006 calendar! The artwork is stunning! You MUST find time to do an art book of your own! And many thanks for the wonderful work you do on Nox Arcana's CDs. Darkest Blessings, Adele Palombi [11.02.05] Hello. I'm sending this in order to inform you that the package was received today, in perfect condition, and the items are even better live than on screen (and they look great on screen). I have not opened the Gothic Tarot (it's a gift for my girlfriend) but I have to admit I'm tempted to keep it for myself! Many thanks for your flawless service, and I'll be sure to keep an eye on your wares (hmmm... calendars...) Many thanks and best wishes, José Correia [07.15.05] Joseph, I have just received your art book in the mail. I think the book is amazing and it will remain one of my most prized possessions forever. Thankyou so much. Your biggest fan, Fayelyn [06.28.05] Joseph, I recently received your art book and, as always, your work takes my breath away! I have never seen any artwork by another artist who can make the night, darkness and even the ghastly so beautiful! The comments were great as they gave a different perspective on some of the pictures and revealed things I hadn't quite seen before. Congratulations to all involved in the making of this book! May the darkness always shine within you! Darkest dreams, Adele Palombi [06.28.05] I just want you to know that you have captured my every thought and deepest desires in your artwork. You are absolutely astonishing. No one has ever created anything comparable to your work before. Without your work, some of us would be lost in a world of which we don't belong. Your artwork helps to express myself. It shows my world; a haunting place full of desire, need, fear, and everything beautifully dark. The beauty of it takes my breath away every time I cast my eyes upon it. It is truely a world in which I belong. Thank you for everything you've created for our dark world. You are a god. Mistress Tiara [06.14.05] Joseph Vargo's work is so beautiful. I've never seen anyone who could capture the beauty of the night so perfectly. His artwork is awe inspiring and I'm thankful to be able to enjoy it. Lamia Eventine [04.01.05] Hi just wanted to say that your stuff is fantastic. I have quite a bit of it now and it features around my home it certainly makes the place interesting. The artwork is fantastic and I love it!!! Best wishes, Candice [03.30.05] Everything about this site is absolutely beautiful. Your artwork is amazing, unlike any I have seen. You are truly very talented. Dark blessings, Adrianna Dravyn [03.12.05] I have been a fan of the Monolith Graphics since 1997, and it's only gotten better as the years pass. Joseph Vargo is truely a gift to the planet, and I hold him in the highest honor. I could not begin to express how thankfull and pleased everyone at Monolith has made me. Keep up the good work, we'll be watching. All My Love, Lady Amanda [03.02.05] You guys have some of the best artwork and music I've seen on the web. Definitely my flavor. Keep it up guys. Kick Ass! David Caesar [02.14.05] Dear Joseph Vargo, your artwork is AMAZING!!! I've never seen so many gothic pictures from one artist. The other day I had to do an art critique on a piece of well, art, and I did it on your picture "Dark Desires." I went on and on about how great the texture was and the technique in the clouds... anyway, I think you're really great. Suriel Davis [01.29.05] Where do I begin? It's all simply amazing; the CDs, the artwork, everything. And based upon personal experience, I can say that those at Monolith Graphics are some of the sweetest people I have ever met. Keep up the good work! Bloody kisses, Angela [12.13.04] I just wanted to say I love your pictures. They are so beautiful. You both have an amazing talent that I could only dream of having. Also I must say you both, Joseph and Christine are very good-looking people. My favorite picture is fairy tale from the "Born of the Night" 2004 calendar. Good luck to you always. Yours Truly, Julia Hahn [08.04.04] I can't tell you enough how much I love your work. I am so fascinated by everything you guys do and by your great customer service. I just wanted to thank you for your great art work, you guys definitely feed my soul. Long live Monolith!! Maria Rojas [08.02.04] I just had to say that I'm a great fan of your artwork! There isn't one item that you've created that I don't like. I'm truly in awe of your talent... absolutely brilliant! Best Wishes, Kristie Hunt [12.17.03] I cant even begin to describe how awesome your work is. The soundtracks are AMAZING and the artwork is so incredibly beautiful. Keep it coming! ALL HAIL MONOLITH!! Do Sin, CC I would like to tell you how much I love your gothic artwork, it is truly exquisite. I have always been fascinated with vampires and all of the myths that accompany them. I have also enjoyed your stories and how they seem to stir up my imagination.Your books and artwork are truly amazing and I would love to see and read more of it. Thank you. Sincerely, "A Fan" Not long ago I received the rather plump order I placed to Monolith, and I'm pleased to say I'm absolutely delighted with it! The artwork is absolutely exquisite in all respects—the twists of light/shadow and dramatic detail I particularly like, as well as the intricate mist in some of the images. I especially enjoy "Shadows," the twining shades create a fascinating complexity and sense of motion to the painting. "Dark Angel" (very striking!), "Sarcophagus" (impressive detailing!!), "Night Watcher" (interesting use of lighting and pose), and "The Dark Tower" (moody and intricate) are all some of my particular favorites of Mr. Vargo's work. As for the newer releases, "Eclipse" is absolutely stunning, I love the rich contrast. "Mara" and "Lord Dravek" are both intriguing figures, the draping effects are top-notch. "Nightmare" is quite impressive as well, the overall effect is quite dynamic. Of course, they're all wonderful, but I just had to specifically mention some of my particular favorites :-) All in all, excellent work! Thanks for the great service. You can count on future orders from me, that's for certain. Keep up the good work! Denise Lanza For some time now, I have been collecting postcards of your artwork from a store where I live. Just wanted to congratulate you on doing such a good job on every piece I have seen. I am an aspiring artist, although my inspiration comes from the Maya and Aztec cultures of Mexico, I appreciate your style and look forward to seeing more of your awesome paintings. Keep up the good work! (anonymous) I love all of Joseph Vargos work. He is amazing, his work speaks to me. I love it, everything. His work shows pain, and darkness. When I see his work I feel alive. I can't stop looking at it. I only wish I could own all of his work. It really truly makes me feel alive, and outstanding. Sincerely, Toni Just wanted to say "Thanks" for getting my order filled so quickly. Also, wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the cd. I also really appreciated the calendar. I'm sharing your work among friends, which they thoroughly enjoy, as I do. Keep up the good work. Christine McMullen Hi. I know you've probably heard this a million times, but I just wanted to put in my part by saying I think your pictures are wonderful. They're beautiful and have so much personality and...well, I cant really explain it. But I just wanted you to know that. I was also wondering if you were designing a calendar for this year. So, thank you for reading this, and continue to make such wonderful art! Lauren Hi! I have been ordering from you for quite some time, and just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your merchandise. Keep up the good work. Mandi I commend you on your outstanding work and equally fine website!!! I am forwarding an order for shirts, stickers, posters, calendar, and extra copies of cds. It just so happens your music has been my inspiration for our Halloween production for the last two years! Words cannot explain the overwhelming awe and emotion our 39 actors, support staff, and hundreds of visitors felt. No one compares! Both of you should be very proud of your talents... it is my pleasure to have found you... your site... and your work. It leaves me touched, moved and inspired! I will certainly be spreading the word!!! Rob Schultz I just wanted to say that the images and art on your site are kick ass! Very good imagery and design. You both should be very proud of what you have here. (anonymous) GEE WIZ! This morning the courier arrived with my order. I was elated and bouncing off the walls with excitement, it was just like having a frenzied birthday bash. I even deferred going to the salt mine until I had unwrapped, unrolled and revealed each poster. They really are more than what I had expected.Isn't it wonderful that even those who reside on opposite poles can appreciate the hidden treasures of life and can continue to be inspired by talents like Joseph's. Many thanks again. Jason Welch Hello. I cannot live my life nor breathe another breath until I tell you how powerful and intense your artwork is. Oh my God, there must be a god because there is no other explanation for your skills! I am a huge fan and will definitely be ordering a catalog and ordering madly! Your images are taken almost directly from my soul! You make the world worth seeing! As a member of the gothic community I must tell you that you have captured our culture beautifully in your works. Thank you for sharing your beauty with the world and doing our culture justice. If you have time, please write me back. I would simply cry! All my admiration, Amadea I enjoy your art... I have collected images and calenders of yours for some time. My bedroom, I guess you can say, is in dedication to you both. I just wanted to let you know I love your work and I look forward to new items for my home. A fan, Rhane I just received my new journal and had to tell you how truly lovely it is! Anyone who hasn't seen these in person doesn't know what they are missing. Also it is a very generous size in thickness... Which brings me to a very important point about all your merchandise; your prices are extremely reasonable, and best of all, postage is included! Most places really get you on postage, generally over-charging, like they think your an idiot and have never mailed anything. Anyway, point is KUDOS to you, and THANK YOU! It is noted and appreciated by all your devoted fans, I'm sure; certainly by this one. This way, I am able to afford to get ALL your wonderful, gorgeous stuff! And I do love your art! Mary Zigenis |
