I'm a self taught Artist.  I enjoy drawing the Female figure mostly but I do just fine with Male figures when the mood strikes me.  I use Photographs as a reference only, but enjoy adding my own style to my pieces.  Mature Content can be found on some of my Model Friends but Mature Content will only be IMPLIED.  The Human Body is a great work of Art and we should be so fortunate to have such great talents out there to express its' incredible dynamics.

I also do amateur photography with a Nikon D5000, but when I say amateur I mean the camera is on Auto.  With my artistic eye behind the lens I'm pretty good at capturing "those moments" or I'm very lucky. My Nikon can take amazing pictures for the references I need in High-Def but I'd be hard pressed to call them professional shots in respects to lighting, foreshortening and the like.  We'll leave that to the professionals.  I have done a few shoots to help build profile photo's and do not mind, so long as I can retain one or two shots for my reference folder.  I work mostly with Local Talent simply because it's easier to set up a shoot for poses I might need to complete on the fly.  Nothing is more irritating than spending a lot time and money on the phone with some Photographer/Model that just doesn't get what your saying. 

Lastly I work with Digital Media.  Since this site really doesn't support it, I'm not getting into it.  You can see my Digital works at http://www.jolostudio.deviantart.com/

You can also get a hold of me on Facebook.  Joshua Long in Pleasant Hill, CA.

I aspire to inspire as others have inspired me.  That means you DiRi.  MM#436845
