This is me, this is the work I do.  I am a struggling artist living and working in Ohio.  I have an art degree and the student loans to show for it.  My work has various influences stemming from my painting and graphics background, and my love of pop culture.  I am obsessive about my work and I constantly push myself in new directions. 

I create images full of textures and rich color.  I use humor and irony and I love images with a sense of Drama.  My work takes time and planning and I like it that way. I enjoy the process of concept and the resolution of the path on which that concept takes me.


I write for the photography blog at phluxt.com! Come check it out.

The Featured List 
I have been lucky enough to work with a lot of wonderful models on MM.  The list is now a bit unwieldy to keep here.  Below is a selection of models I have worked with fairly recently and highly recommend. I am working on putting an updated complete list online somewhere soon.


Natasha Fatale / Bucket
Natasha is awesome.  Gorgeous, expressive, funny, and professional.  We work well together and it is damn hard to take a bad picture of her.  She takes direction, contributes and throws herself into shoots others would cringe at. Also My Hero.

Kira Nova / Freckles
Kira is dynamic and professional.  Posing is something she takes seriously and you will not be disappointed.  She puts herself into what she does and will go beyond the last mile to make a shot happen.

Tia / Orixx
Another person that it is hard to take a bad picture of.  Tia knows what she is doing and can be both serious and silly in the same breath.  An absolute professional, she is on the ball for everything that is needed. 

Alkemie Jane / AJ
AJ will make it work.  Whatever you throw at her she will take it and give it back magnified and enhanced with a surly edge and a bit of whimsy.

Crash / Breakfast Hannadict
Crash is running past us naked with rough bits of life flying off her for the rest of us to enjoy.  Up for anything with a great attitude and non-stop energy she never disappoints and always wants to get her hair dirty.

Loryn Rogue / MSSB
New to the modeling game but with a confidence in herself and a positive attitude that makes it all work. And it doesn't hurt that she is gorgeous either.
