Reverie - Dallas
This March 28-31 I kicked off the prestigious AFI Film Festival with another unique digital and traditional entertainment show. Hundreds of professionals from the film and entertainment industries will gathered for four days of inspiration at our
www.conceptart.org/workshop . Live performance, live digital and traditional painting, a killer party, and four days of inspirational education with the top feature film, video games, designers, and artists in the world.
If you are up for doing a tfp shoot, I have time nowadays and am looking for collaboration on portfolio development as well. Just lemme know if you are interested.
Ideally, I would like to build a network of good, talented, interesting people, who like me, have a desire to do mind-blowing shit in the name of art and culture here in Austin and around the world. The only way things get done nowadays is when the creatives come together. I haven't been here in the music capital for long, but I know what needs to happen. Below are some different themed events I have done previously, both corporate and non-profit stylz. Creative people making things happen. Art rules. (Update 07-17-09 - This has been achieved.
Happy days. Always looking to meet new peeps who have talent, beauty, creative fire, and more. We are doing great stuff. It is awesome to be in Austin)
I am an artist, photographer, and founder of ConceptArt.Org Events. I also created and own three entertainment companies working in feature film, games, and Fine Art. I design, plan, organize and produce large creative inspirational arts events bringing together musicians, dancers, acrobats, singers, fire breathers, performers, burlesque, fetish, models, dj's, traditional Fine Artists, and cutting edge digital performances--bringing the traditional and digital together as one. I am looking for cool people who are interested in inspiring others by doing what they do best, whether it be models, photographers or any other creative group.
To date, I have held events in Amsterdam, Wellington New Zealand, Berlin, Austin(twice), San Francisco (twice), Montreal, Bucharest, Prague, New Zealand, Seattle and I have Shanghai, San Diego, Europe, and Dallas upcoming. At times, travel is included in such things.

My background is in the entertainment industry where I spent ten years making video games and building the online social network for artists ConceptArt.Org (a non-profit supporting international arts). Everything I do is related to art and international creative culture. I am an alumni of Ringling School of Art and Design and studied under master illustrators around the country.
At times my entertainment development company
www.massiveblack.com (games, film, tv, advertising) also requires models and our
www.conceptart.org/school uses figure models daily at the atelier(for those of you in San Fran).
I am looking to connect with other creatives here in Austin and around the world. The world moves when we work together.
I am doing events similar to the Revelations Video above in New Zealand, Shanghai, and Dallas this winter and spring. I am looking for figure models for these shows as well.
Figure photography: Jason Manley (me), and John Louie (the pictures of me).
Event photography by Jason Manley, Phil Holland
www.phfx.com , and Daniel Zetterstrom photography included. Tribal costumes and models by Lucent Dossier. DJ acts and other credits are listed in the linked videos.
