Hello everyone! The studio is opening back up this weekend with Tamira Burns on Saturday and Megan Ma'iingan on Sunday. Megan will be featured as the JUSTICE CARD! Luckily I was able to find a small scale. We have some cool swords, and possibly a horned mask that I might use to help it all come together. I will be wearing a mask all session, and will try to keep both myself and the model as safe as possible during the process.

Featuring the pagan sweet heart, John Harvey, who was also seen as Maleficent in my Heroes and Villains series, and Medb in my Gods and Monsters project. He's the fiance to my long time friend Brian, who you may remember as Capricorn!
It's been awhile since I've seen them all, but John and I got together a month ago to work on this card. He really wanted to be in this project, and is a practici...

Link me to your favorite artists below! Would love to know what others did with art inspired by video games. Personally my favorite that I've done was the Kingdom Hearts piece with Brendan Miller. It stands out as a really nice photoshoot and painting, plus the lines are partially made out of spaghetti!
TRUE STORY!

Hey everyone! As you may know I've been working hard on completing my Tarot Series since last year. It's an ambitious project, spanning 78 cards, with the goal of releasing an official deck and potentially a companion book. Exciting stuff right?
At the beginning of 2020, I announced my final chapter, and approved almost two dozen individuals to be involved. Then COVID-19 happened, and the world went completely upside down for many. Although I finished up a couple ...

You aren't seeing things. I've always told every publication I've interviewed with that my first body painting was completed in 2013. That's not entirely true. There exists a secret body painting from 2003, that I did on myself! Why is it a secret? Because I totally forgot I did it.
Check out the photo gallery above to explore this hidden treasure! Can you guess w...

For me it's still my Friday night! What kind of catchy name can I come up with for that? Flash Back Friday? Nope, it's a Flash Forward! So we'll just say Sneak Peek Saturday! Heck yeah!
I'm getting ready to reveal John's card next, but thought I'd give you a couple glimpses of the artwork. He also knitted a cloak for this, which is featured in the Tarot card!
Did you know that Best also did a photoshoot with me recently?

Also I have a question! I want to design some cute stickers for my Patrons. I could always use body art, but PERHAPS you would enjoy something hand drawn instead?
Let me know your thoughts below!

Is Best Tardy a Skimbleshanks? Or a Rum Tum Tugger? Who knows? We didn't reference the movie or the play when creating this. Sorry! Kyle and Chris requested a kitty. :3

I'm reading the first four chapters of Chance Happening right now and I am HOOKED. He's really been polishing this and honestly the flow is smoother than many finished novels.
Which makes it all the more surprising that he's only written five chapters. Best Tardy really puts a lot of care and attention in dialog and world building.
You can find some of the chapters on his Patreon! He's also working on a science fiction parallel universe lo...

Sorry for the late night post, but I just finished!
Don't Caitlin and Matthew look radiant? I've been working on this for the last three days... and it's finally finished! At one point I considered drawing a traditional Sun Card face. It was super simple to draw, but it just looked like I was copying. I tried to stylize it (pictures below) but any of the other smiles I made looked weird. Open mouth, showing a little bit of teeth, etc. All day long I tried to draw different faces.<...

In the middle of editing tonight, my Photoshop froze up and I had to force close it (losing some progress)....and now it's 6am. I was able to recover what you see above from the autosave. I thought I'd give you a little peek at my edit in progress of the Sun Card! Before I resume tweaking it of course.
What do you think so far? I'm still working on the color/balance/lighting/fx/etc, so if you see something you don't *love* I'm probably addressing it soooon.
Goodnight my loves!<...

Featuring my fantastic friend, the wonderful Jacob Lowey. He really radiates beauty and confidence here as the King, and this particular pose was one that Best Tardy and I liked the most. I've been editing this photo on and off throughout the day, but it's finally ready!
One interpretation of this card features the king outifitted in the finest in grapetastic robes, purchased from the original JC Penny's when everything only cost a penny. He h...

Let's get the cuteness started with these adorable photos of Blake and Blake, photographed by Bob in LA, painted by yours truly.
Found some new shots I thought you might enjoy from this project. Would love to get down to LA again and work with them some more.

I asked Patrons on here if they'd like me to bring back my film Contact in an updated form... and 100% of you said YES. It wasn't even a contest.
We're also discussing MAYBE shooting a tiny bit more footage.
Chad also messaged me on here and reminded me it's the 2 year anniversary of this beautiful body painting. I'd love to work with him again.
Stay Tuned....

Hey friends! I'm working on the Kitty Body Painting edits, but wanted to share this adorable picture of Best meditating first! Isn't he just so adorable?
We've been having a pretty good week or two, have had a lot of good talks, and grew a bunch in the process. We're also exploring some new things... but maybe more on that later?

Brandon + Best + ...........!
P.S. Thank you Kyle and Chris for sponsoring this painting!

Painting Best today as a Kitty Cat, sponsored by Kyle Limb and Chris Wright. Thank you both! We were hoping to do this painting sooner, but we've got Daft Punk playing in the background and we're ready to make some art!
Should I bring out the Go-Pro?

Now for something personal before I share art stuff later today!
Just the other day we went to Oak Creek Canyon, a triple B extravaganza. Brandon, Best, and Brandon. Does that make it a Best Sandwich? I digress... I've been needing some wilderness time for months and I finally got my wish! Was happy to breath fresh air while feeling the creek side breeze tickle my (sweaty) skin.
The company wasn't half bad either!. Had a fun road trip on the way there and back, full of co...

During the formative years of my childhood, my favorite memories involved spending time in the great outdoors. It's no surprise I enjoyed wide open spaces because I was often grounded, which meant rarely leaving my room. It wasn't all bad though, and I really cherished camping in the woods, or taking a canoe into a lake.

In concerning news, we might of been exposed to COVID-19. We finally broke down and got haircuts with our usual person. We were told a few days later that they had a family gathering a week before, and his Dad tested positive for COVID. Our friends who do our hair got tested (we are waiting for results). As a precaution, Best and I are getting tested on Mo...
