Let me introduce myself: I'm a professional Artist who has a diverse background. My genres and styles include cosmic fantasy and landscapes in pastel & oil, figurative fantasy in digital photoshop, mosaics in acrylic, broad scale murals, illustrations & web graphics.
My Passion is creative exploration... crossing personal borders and breaking down my own boundaries. It's creating an image which might cause a spark in the viewer. In the mundane and challenging rituals we go through for survival on earth, seeing something uplifting or even captivating can be an inspiration to keep going, and to become something we've always aspired to be. It's true for me through other artist's work, and if in any of my work I'm able to achieve this, even for a brief moment, that is when I feel accomplished.
My Job is working with the model to create uniqueness, a new sense of beauty not yet seen... something that feels good. I sometimes do physical modifications not because it's not good enough, but because I want to make you into something non-human.
Your Job, at least through my perspective, is to help us remember who we are. You, the model is given a gift of physical beauty to represent the 'spirit', the part of us which is more beautiful than we can imagine. You help us remember the part of us before the body ...and after the body.
Please note that I'm here for art, and only art. I see the female form as artwork, not as a sexual object.

Models Needed
Models for figure drawing. (nude) It's a challenge to hold a still pose for extended amounts of time
so if you think you can pull it off... please email me. I'm looking for classic nude poses and creative poses as well. Any body type, but please be comfortable.
Models for photo work to be used for digital art and paintings. Recently expanded to include photos. Used to sketching, not shooting... so it should be an adventure... though I expect positives results as with anything I do.
Compensation can come in the form of trade for artwork, photo manipulations, photos and/or $.
I'm professional, respectful and easy-going.

I don't have much time to socialize here, even if I think you're pretty darn cool. It's truly a time issue. I'm really here to make good art. But of course I'll answer your questions and TRY MY BEST to respond to all comments, etc. Thank you
