READ THIS PLEASE
I am a portrait/figurative artist (I draw/paint) that also happens to enjoy the instant gratification of photography. I am here to network with creative models who are interested in making art (photographs and life size drawings either for entry into juried art shows and galleries or maybe just for the fun of it). Please note that my drawings are realistic in nature and my portfolio on this site contains both drawings and photos. I am interested in creating artwork expressive of sensuality, emotion, color, and the beauty of the female form while enjoying the collaborative process between the model and myself.
If you would like to work with me please feel free to email me and I will get back with you. I generally do not pay for models but I do not charge either as I am perfectly willing to work for trade, actually preferring to work with those who are motivated by creativity rather than money.
While my drawings focus on portraiture and figurative work I tend to photograph anything that catches my eye. A more extensive gallery of my work, including my non model photography, may be viewed here:
http://thetube.deviantart.com/ . Click on the gallery and follow it as far as you like.
If I send you a friend request it means I either have an interest in working with you or very much respect your work/talent. If you send me one I ask that you at least introduce yourself with a tag, picture comment, or better yet a message. After all, how can we be "friends" without exchanging at least a few words? Besides It shows me you might even have read this profile.
Serious inquiries only please.
Thanks,
Steve

Remember how you said I was charmed? Well, I came back to Michigan for my Aunt's wedding and it was super sunny when I got here- but it's been raining ever since! Ha.
Hope we can figure out a shoot when I get back to WA. :3

I just enjoy doing it. It's an art form to me just like any other that I try. I'm not too worried about whether or not people find me stunning. I'm more inclined to try to be interesting or fascinating somehow. I always find it disappointing when models think being pretty is enough to make a good picture. I'd rather provide an entertaining image. It seems like there are plenty of people who are looking for someone who is more animate, so I'm sure I'll do fine. :D

Thank you for the words of encouragement. My friend Ariana suggested I open an account but I was a little apprehensive. I've heard it can be a tough industry to get started in.
