I am a professional artist specializing in glamour and classic / modern pinup artwork. I am self taught and produce highly realistic art. My acrylic paintings are from my photographs or are provided by the model with copywrite permission.
Please specify the styles of modelling you feel comfortable with if you haven't specified it on your profile. I will adjust the shoot to your preferences. By this I mean that some models feel comfortable with swimsuits, lingerie, implied, topless or tasteful nudes. I don't pressure anyone to work outside of what they feel comfortable with as the photographs won't look good. I encourage that they have an escort that they feel comfortable posing in front of. We will work in an environment that the model feels comfortable in.
Typically I pay my models with a free black and white portrait painted on canvas 16"x20" suitable to be either mounted on the wall as is or to be framed, or give them a discount on a larger painting. The painting doesn't necessarily have to be of the model either, it could be her child or a parent etc. I invite the model to bring any ideas/outfits that they would like to try to the shoot and I am completely open to suggestions. I am not a professional photographer but keep in mind that the photograph isn't the final product in this case and will result in a great painting. I provide a cd of the images un-retouched for free and permission to use them as the model desires.
If you send me a friend request without the courtesy of a message or a tag you will be rejected, sorry!
Just for fun I put this little thing down here so if you message me please use the topic "pinups" just to show you spent the time to read my profile. Unless your a celebrity or Playboy playmate, please don't send me a "Collaboration" request if you just want to see yourself painted and have no intention of working with me.
Thank you in advance.
