Patreon is aware of the high amount of declines. From what I've seen today, it has to do with the moving to a processor in England. They wrote me back with this: hi there, we're noticing an unexpectedly high number of payment declines. We're sorry for the frustration this has caused and we're doing all we can to help creators g...

A number of you have reached out and advised you are having problems with Patreon transactions going through. Please know that I'm looking into it, and have written to Patreon via chat support and directly by email. I'm just as surprised as you are!
Thank you for your support and kindness in letting me know, and I hope to...
Patreon has recently allowed artists to start charging new Patrons up front. I've turned on this feature.
Why is this important?
Because billing happens on the first of the month, there has been rampant abuse of the system where people will sign up for a day or two...
Video coming tomorrow!

Ben found me on Tumblr, while backpacking through Asia. He then booked a trip to California, took a bus to Arizona, got painted by me, and then flew to Canada!
Let me know your story below!

Here is an exclusive sneak peek at Deven Williams featured as Eluga! Interesting fact about the session: During the body painting he read me multiple stories on Eluga and taught me why he was important to African culture!
It was...

It has begun! Starting the Gods and Monsters BOOK process (and finishing up everyone's edits for the series. LOTS MORE TO SHOW!). Accepting pre-orders on the Legendary Edition right now.
Intrigued? Here is the place to pre-order:

For those of you following over me on Facebook, you already know how crazy the last few weeks have been for me. Recently won Best Artist, started development of a Workshop, and today I just landed a corporate gig designing a dozen monsters for an Escape Room in Phoenix. This is super exciting, and a huge win.
In the...
Raul would love some food too! You're not barking at the moon either, as this is "Lycan" from the Gods and Monsters series!
Love how much lighting changes the body painting.
Alex and I have begun the process for scheduling BLOOM! That means I don't have an In The Studio this week as we getting everyone situated. Instead I'll be judging a talent show, meeting with an Escape Room to potentially build monsters for them, and talking over the phone with Facebook<...

A couple of housekeeping items!
1) The top tier, Paladins of Production, will begin voting SOON on models they would like to sponsor. As part of their membership, they can choose two people to sponsor per year. The cost is covered by your patronage. The first opportunity to do this for is BLOOM. I've also raised ...

Phoenix Magazine just named me ARTIST OF THE YEAR!
THANK YOU.
This week marks the return of Garrett on Wednesday. You may remember his previous incarnation for Neon City! He'll be Lilith.
On Saturday Tyler Monzingo will be in house. He's Cthulhu!
Finally on Sunday, I'm painting Apollo (he also goes by it!).
Which one are you looking f...
Just realized that I don't share enough personal stuff on here lately, so let me fix that. Tonight someone told me I need to work on my PR skills. Yes. It's hard describing what I do. I find I prefer showing than telling. This usually means bringing up Instagram, and (hopefully) realigning their expectations on what body art can...

In case you missed it, I moved and have a new roomie. Did you know he was featured in my work a few years ago? Here is Brandon (yes we have the same name) as Spyro!
Even better, they are remastering the game this year! He's really e...

Beginning to put together the elements to film another season of Let's Make A Mess. You can watch old shows (there are lots of them) by using the tagged feature.
Just a few questions:
1) Who would you like to see in Season 2?
2) What would you like to see different?
3) Is there something you'd like ...
This week I'm featuring Devon in the studio. I've shared plenty of photos of him here, so instead I'd love to give you all a sneak peek at Ashyln Wison as Oya!
Otherwise I'm mostly focused on editing content this week, and fulfilling Patreon goodies! I'm on number 5 of 17 of drawings, so I have some work ...
Today is the last day of my week long "vacation"... but what a weirdly wonderful time! Hardly relaxing, you know, but absolutely riveting.
Went to (and was involved with) some amazing events. Shared some incredible experiences, meals, conversations, laughter, tenderness, and discoveries.
Just know that I...
