After Comi­con, my friend Evan Hay­den came to LA to shoot with a cou­ple local mod­els.
When both of his shoots fell through, he had the awe­some idea to set up a shoot for us to col­lab­o­rate on.
We con­vinced my lovely roo­mate Brenna to pose for us, and promptly started set­ting up lights.

The con­cept for the shoot involves the chance meet­ing of a pros­ti­tute and a mid­west­ern house­wife in a hotel.

This obvi­ously required me to break out my black wig.

Sure am glad I took that stage makeup course in college!

French braid! Stat!

I’ll be post­ing the results of the shoot, fol­lowed by the sub­se­quent illus­tra­tions that come out of it. You guys will see the in-progress work I do on my half, and if we’re lucky, per­haps Evan will post his as well.

The final result will be avail­able for pur­chase as a lim­ited edi­tion triptych.

Evan and I have both agreed to not show each other what we’re doing on our halves of the project until we are both fin­ished. I’m amped to be shar­ing the process with all of you, because this will be the first time I’ve shown every aspect of my work, includ­ing the photoshoot.

I hope you all are as excited as I am!
