-I am a mature male model experienced in modelling for artists, classes, and groups in private, institutional and public venues.  My portfolio includes, but is not limited to posing for traditional fine arts mediums (drawing, painting, sculpture, photography), body painting, casting, and performance art/entertainment.  

-I have created a reputation for being professional, reliable, creative, and adaptable, with a proven ability to hold difficult and unique poses for extended periods inspite of unforeseen circumstances.  By way of example; I once did a three hour evening session in the Students' Union main mezzanine at a local university because the initial studio had flooded.  Rather than cancel the class, I agreed to improvise.  It was a very public venue with students from all departments milling about and watching as they bought coffee and snacks during their breaks.  I was told by the instructor afterwards that they had gotten a lot of positive comments because of our class' fortitude and my "uninhibited dedication." 

-Similarly, I was one of only three models asked to perform at a Gallery Fund Raising Gala which held a public wine and cheese evening with a "drop in" artists' session.  Initially, there was one young lady, a young fellow, and myself who were to hold three one hour poses on three separate platforms.  Unfortunately, the former backed out after the first pose and so the latter and I began a sort of pose-off competition.  As the evening wore on, we were bought red wine and eventually, we took our last breaks without resorting to donning our robes (I have photos I can submit)...it was an absolute delight and about a dozen people signed up for classes.

-It is because of situations like this and my crucifixion or St. Sebastian poses that I have earned the title of Masochistic Exhibitionist, a moniker I wear with pride.  They have also allowed me to be considered and hired for projects that are more unique or experimental and perhaps not considered by more traditional modelling colleagues.  And finally, I consider myself an artist who uses his body as a canvas to create, express, and entertain those who want to explore and expose their artistic experimentations.
