Oh hey it's me!

I'm in Denver this weekend. Checked out the Denver Art Museum. Found some inspiring stuff, and my goodness, could Rembrandt work wonders. Xox, Brandon

Miss my segment on TV?

Here is another chance to watch! The CW Network chatted with me about body art. How cool is that?

The Incredible David! (BLOOM) Nsfw!

Talk about blowing everything out of the water! I have some amazing photos and video of David's recent Bloom outing, and let me tell you, they don't dissapoint!

Here is a sneak peek at this stunning human!

Ready for more?

Back in Phoenix

Hey friends! I'm back in Phoenix. I'll be here until Tuesday, and then I'm heading to New Mexico this week, followed by Colorado this weekend. Do I have any friends in these areas?

Following Colorado, I'll be in Utah, and then Nevada. I will be posting some new art, as well as stories of my travels. Stay tuned  my lovelies, and I'll have more tomorrow.

Alan is in Bloom!

About to head to Flagstaff, but wanted to share this gorgeous photo of Alan before I go.  I'll be back on Monday with new content, but my signal will be spotty in the mountains!

Love,

Brandon

When will you be painted?

The studio awaits!

The Gods declare Anubis is back!

Posted the censored version on Instagram, you get the unedited copy!

Ask Me Anything (NSFW)

No really! Ask me all of your fun questions, and I'll answer them tomorrow on the next edition of Too Much Tuesday!

Submit them below, or send me a message if you prefer to be anonymous. Thanks~

Chill

This is a lesson I'm working on learning!

However I have a TON of new content to share. Just took SEVEN photo shoots off my camera, two of them are gorgeous semi-erotic Bloom Shoots! Full of beautiful lighting, flowers, and dynamic angles. Look for them before my break!

Enjoy your day!

Brandon

Happy Bloom Day! (Included Attachments)

To celebrate Troye Sivan's new album, I'm featuring Patreon Sponsored model Michael LaRocque-Wolfe. That's right, one of your fellow supporters covered Michael's session. Thank you!

Let me know how you feel about this set, and if you'd like to see more! Have a great weekend everyone, and I look forward to seeing you with more content next week!

Hope you enjoy the art!

One Year Anniversary Soon!

Hey friends and fans! My one year anniversary for being on Patreon is NEXT month! That's right! So I thought I'd turn to you, my dear and supportive "Brans" (Like Brandon+Fans? I don't know, I just made it up) to decide how we celebrate.

One of the things I'm considering is a live body painting stream and conversation. Patreon has some tools to do this, as does Twitch, They both have their pros and cons.

I'd also like to reward the people who have stuck with me this entire year. I'...

Card Processing Help

Hey friends! Last month Patreon moved adult pages to a UK Credit Card Processor. There were many reasons for this, but one was because many US processors don't like to risk being involved with explicit content.

Because of this however, your bank might of thought it was fraud (since it was billed in another country). Patreon is working with communicating it to the banks, but they may need you to give ...

Approved Sponsored Models

Did you know that there is a Patreon tier where you can pay for your body painting over the course of a year? Or that there is another tier where you can sponsor two other models (every six months)?

Recently I asked my Paladins of Production who they would like to sponsor. The results are in!

Bennett Wood is making a return, as well as Tom Whitson (when he recovers from his injury), Michael LaRocque-Wolfe, and Travis Kerr.

If you'd like to sponsor someone directly (outside...

What Is My Weirdest Body Painting? (NSFW)

I think this painting with William Bussell (2013) is probably up there as one of my weirdest. What do you think?

Do you have a peculiar favorite of mine?

Patreon Exclusive Feature: The Beginning - NSFW

Want to know how it all began? Let me take you back to the Winter of 2012. Hot off the (minor) success of my first gallery show for my canvas work, I had the confidence to start my first series. During this run, I painted people (my friends specifically) on to a blank canvas.

William Bussell was different however. We were friends (and occasional lovers), but more importantly, he was the first that said "Put that paint on me". You can imagine my reaction....

Patreon Exclusive: The "Making Of" Owl City (NSFW)

One of my favorite pieces that I've done is a little painting called "Owl City". It involved two models who have never worked with each other, but the chemistry in the room was undeniable. Hunter and Aaron went on to produce other art with me, but this one holds a special place in my heart. Starting with the header, this is a brand new, never seen photo.

Moving on to the second photo, this landscape p...

NEW Press + Sneak Peek of Martin!

Look who is coming next!

Please look forward to seeing more of Brandon Spear soon! In fact, he is also a body painter and has asked me to model for him... Full circle right? Brandon

Beardouir! Debuting Louie in BLOOM!

Louie has built a career working with (and nurturing) the disabled. My favorite story is how he encouraged someone to paint who didn't think they were able to. They didn't have a lot of upper body strength, being confined to a wheelchair. Louie held up the canvas, and let the new artist do their handiwork!

Now Louie is in the studio, and this Pup couldn't be happier! Take a look at his playful side!<...

In The Studio!

Monday: Michael LaRocque-Wolfe was in the studio! I've included a sneak peek below!
Tuesday: Brandon edited, organized the studio, and finally played The Witcher 3.
Wednesday: Painting Alan Khoutakoun! You may remember him as Caterpillar from Alive in Wonderland! Will be great to have him back in the studio!
Thursday: Painting Caleb Renfro! He hired me for a Halloween gig a couple years ago.
Friday: ...

Becoming My Art

This Friday I transformed into Cthulhu, creating a custom suit that had eyeballs and tentacles coming off the shoulders! Here is a better picture of the jacket (without the flash):

Speaking of flash, the power went out in the bar shortly after my performance. You could say that my performance was electric!

Just want to say...

That I really, really appreciate you. Some days are tough, and being a full time artist has its own challenges, but your backing makes me feel like it's all worth it. Driving up north tomorrow to clear my head and prepare for an insane weekend of art! Wish me luck! Brandon

RAWR! Return of the BEAR! (NSFW)

Thanks for your support Patreon! I have a super set for ya! This is Bear Michael from Portland, Oregon! Please enjoy the beautiful art, edited by both myself and Alexander Black!

In The Studio

Welcome back to In The Studio, your weekly column of who will be transformed in my studio.

This week currently is a bit light because I'm preparing for my performance of "Into the Mist" at an event called What The Queer. Curious about the song?

This will be a "drag" performance, but I use that word lightly as I a...

Everything Is Fine! (NSFW)

I mean look how happy Kevin and Juliet are! Recently in the studio we found Martin, Louie, and on Sunday, a Brandon (I know a lot of these) from Instagram.

Things have been super busy on this end, but now that movie filming is over, I can put my energy back into content here. Thank you for your patience while I was in production.

How are you thought? Would love to catch up. I'm about to head to the gym because I have some more modelling to do!

Thank You!

Yesterday was really rough. Patreon moved their processor to England, which caused between 25-30% of all my Patrons to decline. This became a newsworthy moment, with multiple sites reporting the panic creators felt on the website.

Fast forward to today, and although the mess isn't entirely cleaned up, progress has been made! Things are looking better.

What's next? Many of you will be voting on who will be in BLOOM next, with the Paladin and Wizard tiers having the biggest influen...
