Thank you to model Tamica and photographer Dan Hood for saying such nice things about working with me

Timely reports from Sacramento News & Review writers on breaking news and big issues.

OK- I can die happy now. Just had a lovely little text conversation with JOANNE GAIR, the EMPRESS of body paint art.

Yesterday we celebrated our Independence Day. But what good is autonomy if you are in the process of destroying yourself.

Recent Supreme Court decisions and laws enacted in various states of our Union are taking rights away from most Americans while empowering the extremely wealthy who control major corporations.

Meanwhile women are losing rights daily, trans people are under attack, and women are losing their ability to access basic health care.

And if we continue down this path there is literally a plan in place to label art like this forbidden and shut down freedom of speech all in the name of a particular flavor of religion.

Think about that.



This is not ok.

Freedom of religion and freedom from religion. Believe what you want and let me do the same.

Which also means YOU don’t get your decide what the rest of us get to say, do, show, see, or think about.

This is why I think the 1st amendment may well be the sexiest thing our Government has ever come up with.

Birthdays are a great time to reflect on where you are, and what you need to do to survive the next year intact.

Happy Juneteenth! Tamica and I collaborated on this piece as an expression of her passion and her culture. I was honored to assist her in the creative process of self expression.

Juneteenth is a celebration of strength, endurance, and freedom. If you aren't familiar with it, I strongly suggest you look it up and learn.

Symbols of magical transformation and power.

Humans: hopelessly messy and heartbreakingly beautiful…simultaneously.

Hoping to shoot more bodypaint later this month. If you are ALSO hoping to shoot later this month (or at any other time) I would encourage you to fill out this form I created. It helps me to see your interests and availability at a glance so I can contact models who are interested in different styles in the easiest way possible for them.

Ok… I was planning on doing some exciting new work… but now the pressure is on! I’m being followed by bodypaint GODDESS Joanne Gair!!

I know some people like don't like AI, and others just love it. Me...I'm exploring my feelings. But I also know as an artist that my stuff has been scraped and used, so I am feeling like using it as a tool is only fair at this point. The genie is out of the bottle in my mind.

Anyways, here is something I have been working on. I start with one of my own photos, I run that through AI and then I mess with layering and backgrounds and more.

I'm specifically looking for a mood, an idea, and I thought this one turned out pretty well.

Life is brief, celebrate each day.

And sometimes we don’t care AT ALL about the details. But either way… we have a blast creating art!

Everyone needs someone to get in trouble with sometimes.

Who is your partner in crime?

(And that need stays, even at my age)
