Angels 3

Angels 3

I love when something just works out. I was taking pictures of Amaya and Sarah for their clone shots, but they happen to pose just perfectly for a portrait. i made them hold it and quickly reposition to get this shot. It’s just the perfect bit of attitude. I wish I had a magazine or CD cover to put them on.

Had a shoot with both Amaya and Sarah yesterday. At first we didn’t have any real ideas, and frankly I have been burnt out, so we started out with a basic concept. Naughty and Nice clones. I was kind of inspired by the 80s B-movie "Angel" where this 15-year old girl is a sweet innocent high-school student by day and a nasty skanky prostiture/vigilante crime fighter at night.

They probably would have looked better if I had done it with scenery instead of just on a black backdrop. Still, its kinda neat showing how verstaile both of the girls are.

It’s been a while since I posted pics of Sarah. That can’t go on. She might stop being my friend. 🙂

Actually, my friend Lacy is a bellydancer artist. And I got her to agree to draw Sarah. But in order to do that, she needs referency material. So here you go, Lacy. Reference away.

XII-Hanged Man

XII-Hanged Man

Sometimes its amazing how simple something can be. I spent months obsessing over how I was going to rig the hanged man card just right to have someone hanging upside down by one foot. Only in the last week or so did it occur to me that I had changed the base pose of pretty much every other card, so why not that one?

Anyway, once I figured out that i should change the base pose, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this one. I had wanted a male bondage card to offset Temperance anyway, and Cade seemed like a natural for it.

Day 526 of 365 More. And I’m done. It’s about time. Had the show at Creative Treehouse. I had said ahead of time that if I sold one print I would consider it a success. I sold four! So, I guess that’s 400% of my expectations. So woohoo! Of course I spent far more on…

Day 525 of 365 More. And I’m done. Well, I’m not done, the show isn’t til tomorrow, but I’m finally finished preparing for it. With as much as work as I put into this in the last month, I honestly no longer remember a time when I WASN’T working on this show. But now, less…
