I am an aspiring tattoo/alternative model, artist, and musician who grew up in Topeka, Kansas, and became immersed and influenced by the Punk Rock and Hardcore music scene and tattooed lifestyle. Loneliness and a feeling of estrangement lead me to artistic creation as a child and this further manifested itself in my adult life in the form of a nonconformist attitude and appearance, and of course, a large collection of tattoos! My hope is to embark on a journey of self expression through beautiful photography and imagery and to convey the beauty of tattooed skin and a counterculture lifestyle. The aesthetic for the images I want to create are inspired by art, grey skies, city sreets, counterculture and vintage lifestyle, graffiti, punk rock, urban landscape, custom car culture, poetry, loneliness, love, hate, sensuality, nature, decay, and all things beautiful, artistic, and that contain soul and meaning. My main goal is to better understand myself and the nature of my soul through my art. I won't lie and say this "tattooed" lifestyle I've chosen hasn't been difficult at times, but I've managed to stay true to myself and my own value system and want to use modeling as another way of expressing myself and keeping this vision I had so long ago alive. I am interested in working with and for tattoo mags and related lifestyle publications, hot rod and custom car culture mags, art mags, fetish mags, horror mags, rockabilly mags, punk and hardcore music mags and related clothing brands, fitness mags, advertising, editorial, street fashion, edgy clothing brands and companies, and so much more. I realize my portfolio is limited and that I am inexperienced but I am hoping to work with photographers and companies that can help me to expand my portfolio and create some edgy and creative images, and also help me realize my full artistic potential. I currently live in Kansas but am relocating to San Diego this summer. I'm also willing to travel so hit me up if your interested in working with me. Thanks....
