JUNE - AUGUST 2011: I'm in San Francisco for an arts residency and a Creative Sexytimes adventure. I'd love to collaborate with people to get some photographic/visual art together and put together my showing at the end of August. Find out more:

INTERESTED IN: Helping each other!
♥ Collaborating with other creative people & projects - as a performer, model, ideas person, researcher, advisor, anything!
♥ Helping you with your creative work & events - backstage, on stage, before or after the event, at the door or at the Green Room
♥ Giving more exposure and opportunities to minority creatives (fringe of the fringe) - Culturally and Linguistically Diverse, queer, female
♥ Promoting and supporting your own creative dreams and projects
PHOTOS-WISE: Interested in both TFP(or things) and paid work. Most of my photos so far have been to accompany personal performance/creative projects, but I am quite keen on getting into art modelling (photographic or for art classes). I like alternative-style imagery with narrative, socially-conscious/activist art, queer art, fantasy, burlesque, drag, carnival - anything that twists the conventional, mixes the erotic & confident & intelligent & weird.
Currently I'm quite interested in exploring art nudes (implied or otherwise) and art erotica - solo or girl/girl, not explicit. There are some examples in my profile. If you have any ideas get in touch.
If any of these intrigue you, find me and drop me a line!
