Be sure to check out the latest blog entry on Vintage Vandalizm about my recent collaboration with her and Revecka Nguyen of Delicious Dames.

A fast snap shot of a new piece called"I Want Candy" on the art table while adding the finishing touches.

Model - Vivi Louise
Inspired by a session that I did with Shannon Brooke Imagery who shot a series of figure studies for me to work from, makeup/hair by Jennifer Corona Makeup Artist,styling by Shannon Brooke.

I've been so lucky over the past few years to have the opportunity to collaborate and work with so many talented people and this latest piece is a perfect example of that.  I teamed up with fashionista/blogger/model/ all around inspiring Jasmin aka Vintage Vandalizm and the founder of Delicious Dames turned photographer Revecka Natalia who did a photo shoot last year in NYC that inspired this latest piece called "Hip Hip Chin Chin The Rhythm Boogie". It was such a pleasure to work with both of these incredibly talented and creative woman who are always up for any crazy idea that pops into my head.

Next month I will be part of a group tribute show in celebration of legendary pin up photographer/ model Bunny Yeager. Below is one of two piece I created for the show. Olivia de Berardinis will also have a piece in the show so if your in Miami next month be sure to check out what I know will be a stellar show at the Harold Golen Gallery.
