Hello friends! Thank you for joining me for a much deeper look at the Tarot series. One by one, I'll be talking about each and every card painted giving you a complete snapshot of the journey. This is Tales from Tarot, and will lead to the launch of the physical deck!
Our first card featured is the Ace of Cups with the amazing Kaylea Payne!

Hey friends! On top of body art, and producing a book with Best, and a new Tarot Deck, I've been working on a video game!
The city scene is taking a little bit longer than I expected. Thought I'd share a progress shot! Zoom in to see all of the details! Or download it using the link (at a higher resolution than the game), a Patreon exclusive!
I was also able to get the game running in t...
We've all been feeling the forces of a collective pandemic, but hope seems to be around the bend. Like a burning old bird (thanks Best), the Phoenix rises above the destruction.
I believe in you, and know that you too will rise above the difficulties of 2020 (and the myriad of challenges in obtaining a vaccine in 2021). Let's not just ...

Ok.. just the one... Best as "The Fool Card" from my Tarot series!
And little Van Gogh, his co-star! Speaking of which, our little guy is 5 years old now!
And suddenly this post became about Van Gogh! *gasp*

I recently started preparing for my next series, while I wrap on Tarot. This gave me the opportunity to work with some new people, which you will see more of shortly!
As far as M, featured above? I'm still deciding on which photos to share, but I still wanted to give you an early look. It was a really interesting photoshoot, but I'll save that for another discussion!
On a personal note, this week has felt like a ser...

Featuring the incredible Spencer Llewelyn and Bennett Allen Wood! Would love to hear what you think in the comments below, and as a bonus thanks, a couple behind the scenes mask 4 mask action shots. So scandalous! :P
Seriously though, I plan on featuring a much larger post with this card in the future, as well as a short video post...
I'm kind of speechless. This was such a fun painting AND vibe! It's also the first prototype for my upcoming Neon Series... debuting on Patreon first of course!
I've gotta say though...
Garrett (a recent college graduate) SLAYED the session. We got easily over 500+ photos, tons of video, and collaborated the hell out of each and every pose. Having the same taste in music also helped, making it feel...
What Is It?
"Camouflaging" in the Body Painting industry means blending people into the background using art. It's wildly popular, but I do not enjoy the experience as much. Why? Because the model disappears, and they become a prop can only be viewed from one specific angle, that has been lit as flat as possible.
It's less about them, and more about the "Ah Ha" moment.
Yet the success of ...

The warmth of Spring is coming! I hope your month is beautiful. I certainly appreciate your support, and plan on sharing lots of new art with you this month. Thank you!

Hello friends! I'm really excited to share my latest painting featuring Angel.
We've talked for months about creating art together, and after waiting patiently for COVID-19 numbers to creep down, we took the plunge.
More coming soo...

Have you always been mildly curious about what Brandon and Best's room looks like?
Where does the magic start?
They are both gamers, Best loves Anime, and Brandon....? A lot of scarves. Please enjoy this escape into the weird and wonderful world of B and B.

Hello friends! Welcome back to another look into the world of my work. As you may know I have multiple projects I'm working on. Like making posts on Patreon! Or the book with Best Tardy, the Tarot Deck made entirely out of body art, concepts for Poorly Timed Games, assisting a mod team for Stardew Valley, sending merchandise and shipping, cultivating new art locally,...

Hello friends! How is your week going? I hope Monday treated you with kindness and respect, because I think you're pretty neat.
Thank you for supporting my artwork! I literally would not have survived the pandemic without you. I'm continuing to survive it BECAUSE of you. Bookings are VERY slow, which is completely understandable. I'm also not supe...

Are you ready for a good night? I hope so. <3
A time for celebration?
I've finally painted the Three of Cups!
Oh goody, and I'm sure that's real wine, but is it tasty?
I love your curiosity. But the world is riddled with questions, and just like Wanda, I don't have all of the answers! Zip! Zilch! Nada!
This painting features Cole and Klay Brackney-Wandelear, with their partner Clinton Slay! H...
Recently Best flew to Colorado to take care of some health problems that we couldn't fix here. He's not out of the woods yet, and needs to go back to uncover the origin. But for now, he's back home. Which is wonderful! We have had time to catch up, and tomorrow it's back to work for both of us.
I'll be debuting The Three of Cups on Friday.
The Three of Pentacles had to postpone Saturday's session.

Hello my loves! Today has been sort of an odd day to celebrate, because Best and I are separated by nearly 850 miles. But do you know what makes everything just a bit more lovely? Some new art! Here is the second official debut of Spencer Llewelyn's stunning photoshoot.
This was painted while both Spencer and I wore ma...

Finished a lovely painting last night, but before I run errands, I wanted to share just a pinch of Spence! In this somewhat monochrome wonderland.
Weirdly enough, his favorite colors are black and white, and came with his finger nails painted that way. It was like this design was fated!
In fact, Spencer Llewelyn and I had s...

P.S. Here is an early, work-in-progress photo of Character #2! 
P.S.S. Working with Spencer tomorrow!

Friends! It's finally here! Before I begin, don't fret, I'm still painting bodies. That's not my only project though. <3 I've decided to share some EARLY progress of the NEW game I'm developing. Specifically some of the creative elements!
I'm exhausted, I pushed myself too hard, but I've finished the character design. I'm not ready to talk about him, or his fantastical powers just yet, but I hope you enjoy the...
Hey folks! I'm slowly opening the studio back up. I'll be wearing multiple masks, including a hard protective helmet w/ plastic visor. Models will wear masks unless their faces are being painted, they are snacking/drinking, or they are being photographed.
Cole, Klay, and Clint (all together) are scheduled (finally) to become the Three of Cups. I was going to paint them in January, but Covid numbers were t...

This has been such a joy to create.
Hello friends! Although I don't have a crystal ball, I wanted to talk to you about what 2021 looks like. The United States is still gripped by a pandemic, so a lot is in play.
