This update is as of 22-Oct-2021:

I've been real busy serving as a life model at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center (FWCAC), Friday Night Lights and Shadows (FNLAS), and the University of North Texas (UNT).  References for my life modeling work are available upon request.

As Far As Life Modeling Goes:
My body is pretty proportional … torso and legs about the same length, piercing and tattoo free!!!

Costumes:
Obviously, we can come up with a custom costume of your choice; here are the most popular looks I have:
Caballero Cowboy; as shown in port; black caballero hat, boots, and gloves, red bandanas tied around waist or neck
Indian Chief; as shown in port; headdress and loin cloth
Victorian Gentleman; black paints and shoes, black top hat, shirt with ruffles around collar and cuffs, vest, jacket

All of the looks above can be found in my “2021 GIGS” album.

I am available for private parties, drink and draws, etc.  In fact, although I don’t have any pics, I did serve as a model for a group of ladies having a pool side,“Girls Night In Painting Party”.  The event was fun – wine, cheese and fruit trays, classical music playing softly in the background, in addition to the sound of a waterfall.  A lot of women simply liked the idea of the man being on display for all to see for a change.

Additionally, I offer a 2 hour course on Life Modeling.  Dallas is a great market for Life Models, especially male Life Models, in which you can earn an average of $20.00/hour.  If you land as a model at a college for the whole semester or encounter an artist who wants to work with you directly, your earnings potential is even greater.  Being a Life Model is much more than just stripping down and striking a pose.  There are concepts, practices, and behaviors, that, if mastered, can assure that you are consistently working and requested.  If you would like to learn more about an upcoming Life Model Workshop, contact me.
