Why don't I do more pastels?
They look really pretty mixed with Neon paints, don't you think?Abraham looks gorgeous in these colors. <3This was done with an airbrush!
Discord Started!
Well that was quick. I've started up the Discord server. To test things out, I added the 4.44 tier. It automatically added everyone from that Tier (that had linked their Discord I presume). So handy!To celebrate, I've included a photo of "The Journey" featuring Benjamin. If you aren't sure you linke...
Discord: Yes Or No (Featuring Anubis)?
Should I create a Discord for my Patrons on Patreon?This may increase the amount of content you may receive! <3 Trying to explore new ways to enhance your experience.Model featured is Taylor (who is also studying to be a Doctor, so I can't use his last name)!
Best and Brandon are both cut!
Check out our hair transformation! We haven't a cut since February. The numbers are still bad in Arizona but we had our long time friends fix us up. Masks stayed on!
The strange and beautiful
Did you know I've done over 1000 body paintings? It's true! I've worked with people from around the world, including Robert Cicua shown above, who was formerly in the band "Fairy Bones". I just heard yesterday that they broke up.This was from the first body painting we did together. We later went on...

He works closely with the community, raises a child with his partner Noah, and...

Sneak Peek - Best's Sponsorship Painting #1
Recently we pitched the idea of people sponsoring Best for a body painting after he lost his art gallery job. You guys came through! Without further adieu, we've completed the first session!

Can you guess who it is? ;-)
Poll Result Winner...
The winner (by a handful of votes) was Aaron! I will be featuring his shoot on Tuesday. If you follow my work, this was photographed during the same session as this:I just preferred the outdoor shots, so the scarf pictures went unseen. Can you blame me?I've heard a rumor that I might edit some shots of Taylor as we...

Unedited Sneak Peaks - Ace of Pentacles!

Now that you've seen through some of the magic, a few tiers will also see more video from the session! Really had a superb time with Klay, and I think you'll witness that soon!-Brandon
It's hard to appreciate the little things
When the world is suffering injustice, it's hard to have perspective. This page supports Black Lives, and I believe this country needs heavy reform. This is not a new problem and understandably many people have had enough. That said, it's been really hard to be on social media because of the scope and reality t...

Six of Swords - Preview
Things can get dark out there. You may even be feeling trapped. But better times are ahead. This may be something you might read when pulling this card, and Lisa Cleaveland wore this paint with such fierce determination, I couldn't help but be impressed! We also had a lot of fun and explored things we didn't tr...

Neon Sunday
Dylan looks gorgeous in these photos, don't you think?Some people have called for me to return to Neon. That's a fun thought! I really enjoyed the project, and by the series conclusion, my skill had grown tremendously. He was one of the first I painted for that series, so consider him a pioneer! I love the new ...
