About me
                                    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 either for entry into juried art shows and galleries or maybe just for the fun of it. Philosophically I do not like too much post production editing in my photography (i.e. I like people to look like real people and not mannequins) while my drawings are realistic in nature. My drawings are based on photos I take and I have included both in my portfolio. 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 only work for trade,  preferring to work with those who are motivated and inspired by creativity rather than money but if that is just not in your budget there is some room for negotiation.

While my drawings focus on portraiture and figurative work I tend to photograph anything that catches my eye. I have added another MM account just for traditional art that may be viewed here http://www.modelmayhem.com/1450366 . 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

You certainly have the Bern Hill lithograph style and look to your pictures. Very interesting and inspiring. Thank you for showing me and MM a new way to look at the figure portrait.

Thanks for the tag! Nothing geisha like I wanted. But I have a lot of shoots with geisha-like themes to do.

That's funny! I just moved here in September and updated that info on my page 2 days ago. So you're not imagining things. :o)

Olympia is close! That much I know, but I don't know my way around just yet.

Have a wonderful weekend!

It was way cool. Definitely worth the trip down there. "Metamorphosis" was probably my favorite on display, but i was really hoping to see some of his sculptures and what not. It was a pretty small exhibit.

How have you been?

The whole outline is done, I start shading in October. My tattoo guy is wicked good and bookls 3 months in advanced, so it's going to be spaced out.

It starts right below my neck and goes down to the lower back dimples!!!!!!

Thanks for the pic comment, and the vote too.

unfortunately the contest has so much politics and our audience seems to be a very narrow spectrum of taste and appreciation. so the technical and conceptual works always take a second seat.

i think the model just submitted that photo for the contest. i hope it'll get some decent vote count. as much as we photogs have pride and ego, the models are not different. they work hard for the shot, they deserve some recognition.

thx again.
