This was taken a while ago with a few friends just for fun, I just had photoshop block until last night. This was taken in my Orange County home studio, AKA my apartment dining room and portable studio equipment. I am going a different direction with my photoshop – I want to make it look like they’re worn photos from an old magazine, something that a guy in the army would stick up in his barracks to remember his woman back home. (Which, funny enough, is the story behind this – Ashley Stephens, the model, was an army wife, she gave the proofs to her hubby.)

Notice the wonderful make up and hair – my friend Jennifer Fredrickson is a fantastic artist and, using her mad skills, did a mini-makeover to turn a lovely model into sexy pin up vivacious and stunning!

Coming up are some new Medusa Salon photos… the next in the Medusa series. Oh, and if you’re hankering for more photos, check out my other classic pin ups.

Hey everyone!  As you know, I’m a big fan of Animoto video creation services.  Anyways at the request of my favorite Chapman professor, Cory O’Connor, I made a new video (one not featuring lines about which a teacher being a fool – which, I don’t personally think teachers are fools, I just liked the beats in the song.)

Anyways, here’s my new video, featuring a lot more of my pin ups!

This has been long due to the lovely model Janelle Alyce… Make up, hair by Jenn Fredrickson.

I am a big supporter of the legalization of mary jane, have been since I was a wee child.  Must have something to do with being raised by a punk rock mom, haha.

Coming soon: Rock & Roll Renaissance Jenn, & another Lacy Lou photo. Classic pin up style this time.

My newest work!  Took me a while to get it done, with great results, I hope you all enjoy!  The model is the lovely and talented young Lacey Lou, a find from Model Mayhem.  I have a few more of her that I will be uploading soon.  I also will be editing some pictures of the ladies at Medusa Salon and showing them off soon enough as well.  The make up is by the lovely and talented Ellisse Herrera, check her out in the hair & make up section!

I’m saving up to purchase a video camera, I’m going to be working on a music video and also getting the T&A Show* ready for the public.  I’m also in talks with The MAN to make a little music video for their song “Captain Kirk” cause I love that song, gotta little jingle to it!

I apologize for never posting on here – I’ve been struggling between what I want to do as an artist and having to get paid to do it, and also part of the problem of having to maintain a “professional” appearance when, as an artist, I feel that I should be able to appear as I am and be accepted for my work, not my hopping-around-and-pleasing-the-masses-like-a-trained-dog-running-around-orange-cones – whew, that was a mouthful, but I am an honest, straightforward if not sometimes blunt person.  Funny, for as little as I post, I’m planning another blog for my photojournaling adventures, mostly because it’s a different flair than what goes around here.

Anyways, back to work!

*This will get it’s own post once I finish a brilliant photo of the “A” in the T&A show, Aryiel Hartman.

So I will be adding more to this gallery as I edit more and more photos.  But for now, a few of my favorite pin ups!
