Happy to announce that Alex (flowerboy), my former assistant (he's doing great and has a fancy job now doing PR btw!) has approached me to work on his debut music video!
I've gone over the mood board with him, and discussed some of the imagery we'd like to portray. We're really excited to put this together. I hope you'...
Just returned from a festival, and started the week by meeting with the famous LGBT artist Rene Capone! We went over concepts, and discussed his body painting. He was curious about giving up creative control and letting me create art. Were we successful? Find out next week, when the art releases!

Hello friends! It's here, the debut of the King of Swords, wielding a blade forged in the fires of Arcana. If you draw the card upright, it can mean intellectual strength, clarity, authority, and truth. What is your favorite Tarot Card?
In all of it's aggressive glory. This one reall...

Here is a progress shot, as well as the completed body art, with Jordan from Edmonton (Canada)! Edit: Just added one more!
I'm working on edits of him (and others) today. We just returned from the "Stargate Festival" where I body painted for a couple different presentations, the coolest bein...

Thank you for joining us for another day filled with art! Today we're exploring one of my latest body paintings! Mondrian meets Brandon McGill!
It features an international traveller who prefers to remain anonymous (but he's allowed the photos to be posted, so let's thank him)!

Recently I was in Utah and painted this lovely couple pictured above. I have more photos of them coming, but wanted to introduce the piece with a story.
The boyfriend and I had just gotten done arguing, and it was a pretty passionate one. We were also walking into an unfamiliar studio space, on a pretty stressful thr...
Remember the gorgeous King of Cups body painting? Well I have lots more to share, but the title image is a proud photo of Anthony proudly flying his Kingdom's flag! Or something like that! I'll let you write the fan fiction. Until then, I hope you enjoyed this new image!
Look for Best's new book cover soon!

Featuring Justice, Issac, and Makena! This was painted and photographed in Los Angeles during my TAROT TOUR! I spent three weeks travelling the West Coast, painting people along the way. It was an experience that was full of ups and downs, but these three were a very positive part of my experience.
In fact, Best remar...
First off! Thank you for your support.
A fan favorite is back! This is Bennett Wood as The Page of Cups! Doesn't he look marvelous?
Big thanks to Paul who sponsored both Bennett and Asher for this series.
Is there someone you want to sponsor? You can do it a couple of different ways. Le...
Hey super fans! I've got a new one for you. Chris drove here from Texas to participate in Tarot, but not only that, he brought his own sword! He actually has a background in acting, and has been following my work for some time. It was nice to transform him, and I hope you enjoy the result!

Long before I photographed others, I posed for myself. Or I had a boyfriend take pictures. I wanted to chronicle both my life and journey. I'm fairly certain I've never shared these...until now.
I have the cutest butt.
Featuring Asher Sheppard!
What do you think?

Introduction
Hello friends! I'm back! I've been touring the Western Coast for nearly three weeks, painting people as part of my "Tarot Tour"! Massive thank you to the following people that had me paint them:
Anonymous Couple (Neon)

And I already have a model! It's a long time fan, and Patreon supporter, Chris! He drove all the way from Texas.
I have TONS of new body paintings I did on the road. Can't wait to show you!

P.s. I'm very tired after traveling for three weeks and sleeping poorly the last few days!
If not, here are a couple of peeks! 
Full versions coming, featuring Devon!!
Before seventeen, I decided to join the military. I was unremarkable, had difficulty making friends, and my art was frequently dark. No longer on Ritalin, I couldn't concentrate, so my grades tanked. Puberty hit late, which meant I was small and skinny. Leading to frequently beat downs. I was not fast enough, or clever enough...

Thanks for joining me, my friends! I photographed this during my Tarot Tour, and wanted to share it with you. My trip is nearly over, and I have lots of beautiful art to edit now. Such as the gorgeous Issac here. I hope you are looking forward to his group photo!
