About me
"Don't be too serious; it's only makeup!" - Francois Nars
"Perfection is boring. If a face doesn't have mistakes, it's nothing." - Kevyn Aucoin

When you find something that you love, you must go for it. Chase it. Don't let it get away. Keep up and grab it. It is important, for me as an artist, to live and breathe my passion. Put it under my pillow at night and sleep with it.

I spend a lot of time (too much in some people's opinions) researching my craft. I study anything put in front of me from other artists' blogs, message boards, even product packaging. I am certified as a makeup artist but am primarily self taught. And my learning continues, every day. Every time I put on my own makeup, I learn. Every time I do an event or a photo shoot, I learn. I have been known to make my face raw by applying, washing, reapplying, washing - to get that look in my head just right.

I am open to TF work - anything that will benefit my portfolio. Looks that will challenge me as a makeup artist. Make me grow. Make me learn. Allow me to have my brush in my hand and create a beautiful piece of art with the model as a canvas. I am itching to collaborate with talented artists.

My kit is well stocked with products that I have researched and tested to insure that they will do what I need them to do.

My rates are very reasonable and negotiable. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

Have a looksie at my list "My work in other ports..."

A heads up for you: A photo of me has just won an important photography award in Paris; see my profile essay for details! Also, I’ve got an altogether new “strobist” photography album plus a few new images on page 1 of my port. I hope you’ll take a look at all this! Have a great weekend. Cheers, Peter

Hey Josie:

GREAT WORK! I WANNA HELP PUT MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET!

I wanna invite you to our first monthly fashion networking event called "Model Citizens". Come meet (models, photographers, stylists, photo retouchers, etc.) in an amazing dance club, with fashion shows, modeling agency representatives, fashion magazine personnel & performances by local dance crews as high-energy entertainment. If interested, GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND PERMISSION TO ADD YOU TO THE MAILING LIST. Also, visit www.ModelCitizensNY.com for more details.

Josie, because of copyright reasons, the media outlets need to publish before we can... So hopefully next week!

Glad you liked it! =)

Here is the video from the show!

There will be pictures coming soon, but the press outlets don't want any images posted online before their issues come out. I will give you a link to the press soon, and then once the pictures are done, you'll get those!

Feel free to embed this to your myspace, share it with family, friends, and future employers!

Let Tia and I know what you think!
