Welcome to the official Damiana K. profile for VampireFreaks.com.

"Don't I know you from somewhere?"
It's very possible!

I've been photographed, filmed, recorded, painted, drawn, printed, quoted and toured around the US and UK numerous times over. I'm credited under several names and run the gamut as far as genre and versatility are concerned.

Horror Punk aficionados will likely recognise me as Nurse Darkstar (or Nurse Damiana) from Dr. Chud's X-Ward, Chud's most current project following his departure from The Misfits. I've also been seen wandering about with the likes of Sardonica, Blitzkid, The Independents and some others.
~
Fans of bands such as Android Lust and I, Parasite may know me from gigs and events where they have played, as I have been working as a representative for the DARKVISIONMEDIA label since 2003.
Anyone who happens to be fortunate enough to own the most recent CD released by Android Lust (entitled "Devour, Rise and Take Flight") will have heard a sample of my voice on track #10. ;)
I've also tabled for Ego Likeness on the odd occasion and have numerous other ties and affiliations within the Darkwave/Industrial circuit.

I model professionally and have been doing so since childhood. I also have an extensive background in corporate spokesmodel work, so if you've been an avid attendee of concerts, sporting or club events in any major city, you may recognise me as a brand ambassador for something or other. Currently I am working as chairperson and ambassador for Lorax Community, an education and community outreach project which teaches everyday people how to cultivate, harvest and prepare their own food. It also focuses on foraging and wildcrafting as part of the experience program, which is leading us rapidly into the expansive and wonderful world of permaculture...

Several of the photos contained within this gallery may also seem familiar, as many of them have been used for various printed and web publications, others from movies as well as advertisements, public service announcements and other random footage from programs shown on television* and music video.
~
I have also been the subject of various paintings, drawings and some comic book-related art.
~
In addition to all of the above I also do quite a bit of writing, blogging and freelance work as an editor.

*Random fact: I have never actually seen any of the footage taken from televised media programs or newsclips as I do not own a television.

Mission Statement:
To increase awareness through positivity in action.

My sole purpose for putting myself in public view is quite different from the reasons I find given by others I meet in everyday life. It has always seemed that I've been considered to be the "odd one" in most situations regarding public exposure, and even when I ventured into alternative work after severing my involvement with corporate spokesmodelling, I have often been referred to as "The Lorax"...

Although I have never gone the actual pageant or beauty contest route (have entered and won talent contests, but these were based upon stage performance and musical ability), I've been singing and dancing on stage as well as modelling in one form or another from childhood up to now for reasons which very apparently differ from "the norm."

My involvement in the entertainment industry has never been about getting attention for attention's sake (or even financial gain--throughout the course of my career I have skipped meals from time to time due to an occasional recurrence of "starving artist syndrome"), but basically to show people that an environmentally and animal-friendly vegan lifestyle promotes an amazing sense of vitality brought on by the Universal peace and harmony which comes from consciousness and shows through in a very bold way--even on stage/screen/celluloid.

It is also for these reasons that I ended up separating myself from corporate work of most types and have made a point of being as active as possible in my attempt to publicly increase animal, environmental, social as well as spiritual and individual awareness throughout the years.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Be well and Blessed Be,
