FETISH CON

I worked Fetish Con, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency Tampa, with curiosity, more than anything. I was able to meet some amazing people at the events, which were never dull, and always eye opening. World class photographer, Patrick Oden, took this amazing photo, of my client, the Number One female gladiator for Car Lifting in the world, Amber Steel. I also got to paint some pretty famous mistresses and masters of the amateur porn industry. This actress wanted a sexy way to honor her body beyond wearing the rubber dresses that she was trying on in the ladies' room when I met her. (Rubber Dresses abound at FetCon.) She chose a simple bronzer with leopard print over her gorgeous sun kissed skin tone. Body Art is weightless, and non restrictive, if that is what you're going for! Capricorn Studios contacted me before the event, to see if I would paint a model, advertising their gallery at the "Art of Kink" art show each day. Here is one of the models.

A great perk to this event, is that I got Creative Loafing columnist, for Sex and Love, Shawn Alff to follow me around, as well as his awesome photographer friend, Brian James.

I also got to meet the famous smoking fetish actress, Goldie Red, laughing here, with writer, Shawn Alff. She was over the moon about the mask I painted on her face, and asked me to autograph her Polaroid of us. How sweet! Here is a link to Shawn Alff's article about Bombshell Body Art!

I also get a mention in Shawn Alff's scandalous article about FetishCon.
