I am an artist working out of Houston, Texas. Over the last six years, I've built a small portfolio of artwork, consisting mainly of portraits of my more interesting looking friends and my favorite musicians. Most of the work in my portfolio is older, pastel over tempera and quite bright and colorful. I'm currently branching out into oil painting with more realistic imagery and darker themes and I'm looking for alternative or exotic-looking models to be my muses.

Preferably:
male or female or anywhere in between
18-35
thin to average build
any height
any race or skin color
any hair color (unnatural colors are great!)
any eye color
piercings and/or tattoos are fine

I'm building my skills with oils and my portfolio, so I can offer a small number of prints of the artwork you inspired (11x14 or 16x20) for your personal collection or portfolio in addition to a digital copy. I partner with a high-quality giclee printer for prints. I will credit/link you as the model in all my online posts.

If you live in Houston, I can snap a few reference photos of you in person, or if you're out of town, I can work with existing photos or informal shots. I may request a specific pose, but in most cases, a headshot will suffice.

If you are interested, please PM me! And if you have an idea for a painting with yourself as the subject, PM me! I'd be interested in seeing what you have in mind. I look forward to making some amazing art with you!
