Your Move

Sawadee Khrap

Here is my latest composition – entitled “Your Move”.  it’s a 22in wide x 32in high digital painting.  I still don’t have the hair down yet – working on it,  but blending for shadows, especially on skin is working great.  I changed to a darker canvas – I think it really brings out the colors.YourMove-22x32h-150-web

Ogres from Ghirardelli

Sawadee Khrap

Here is my latest attempt producing a Photoshop Digital acrylic type painting.   I took the photo of the ogres at Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop in San Francisco 2002.  I thought it looked neat then and always wanted to do something with it.   I am having trouble doing hair, especially the disorganize variety needed here.  But I thought I’d post it anyway while I work on learning to do better hair.  I can always go back and correct it later – it might take some time to learn how.  This painting is 30 in wide by 20 in high.  Needs to be printed on linen stockOugesrGhirardelli-web.

Haven’t forgotten you

Sawadee Khrap

Just for eye-candy, I dug up this old image._MG_7729-Edit  I intend to start searching for models , maybe Team can help me by seeing if there are any young men who would like to be models at the University – I am looking at my favorite haunts but with the increase of iPads and Phones very few guys want or need photos – not like it used to be  – now it’s all self’ies and Facebook – not a place for my nude photos.  But I keep looking – just for you.

Chris – Nude Shoot with elephant

Sawadee Khrap

DSC00905Team and I went to the jungle and met  the model chosen to do the nude shoot with Chris.  Plans were made to do the shoot down at the river in the valley where several elephants and their mahouts were spending the morning grazing. We were invited to come along and of course I had to take some images for my blog.DSC00917

The model showed up right on time bringing his own breakfast  -  and we followed him to the river and had a great time getting what I think are some excellent images, considering it was very overcast and threating rain all morning.DSC00937    Check out the SLIDESHOW below for a detailed look.

Past shots

Sawadee Khrap

I haven’t posted or for that matter done any Photoshop work for a long time  –   so today I started editing some old shots I have in Lightroom. DSCF1835-Edit-2 I particularly liked this one of Nut.   I don’t have any more of him but am hoping that he will model for more in the future.   We’ll see.   Anyway this is a start and it’s amazing how I’ve really gotten rusty in editing – or maybe it’s the old age and memory settling in – Hope he and all like it.  Hopefully post more in the near future.

New model from Lao

Sawadee Khrap

Meet Dan,  he was visiting here from Lao and I was fortunate enough to get some modeling time before he left.   What do you think ?   First we went to IMG_1076-Edit

Pattaya Love Art Park  – but it was hotter than hell out there – Only stayed a few shots then back to the condo for some shots   – I think you will like these better.

From Lao come some great models, super guys and you won’t meet friendlier people. – Make sure you plan a visit to Lao on your next trip and get a local guide like Dan to show you around.

Modified version of Pat’s Charlie photo

Sawadee Khrap

Charlie - OhOh_With this expression I just had to create this image – see the original one taken at the Chinese Museum a few posts back – Charlie is coming over for Songkran and I’m hoping we will be able to go to the “Pattaya Love Art Park” about dusk and get images both daylight and evening with lights – looking forward to getting some great images there.
