About Me
I'm a Shropshire-based transgendered (male-to-female) model with a passion for beauty, make-up and body art.
I have been involved with the body painting community since the summer of 2000, when I went on holiday to the European (now World) Bodypainting Festival in Seeboden, Austria - which was my first experience of body painting, both as a model and an artist.
Since then, I've been addicted to the art form, and have modelled for several different body artists, as well as painting countless people as a body artist myself.
After a lull of a few years (owing to work commitments and my wife's ill health), I'm now seeking to get more actively involved in the body painting scene again, both as an artist and model.
I've recently changed my career from working as an IT consultant within teams on client sites to working from home as a freelance web designer specialising in websites for the beauty industry - however I am also particularly keen to work on website design for face and body artists. I am also developing a secure Web-based online salon management software system called Salon Alchemy, which can be used by beauty salons to manage client details and appointments, and allow clients to book appointments and purchase products online via the salon's website.

This means that I am now much more flexible with the hours I work, so now have much more scope for taking on modelling assignments in the week during office hours at fairly short notice.
As modelling is a passion of mine, I am usually happy to model on a "time-for-prints" basis, where I volunteer my time in return for a copy of any photographs taken, although may appreciate a contribution for travel expenses if I have to travel a fair distance away from my local area.
I'm a versatile model, and happy to model for the entire spectrum of temporary body art, including body painting, body writing, temporary tattoos, henna/mehndi/Jagua body art, make-up, face painting, human statues, prosthetics, and anatomy & physiology training (where things like bone structure, muscles and the placement of internal organs are marked on the model's skin).
I'm also happy to model for a wide variety of different shoots, events and situations, including (but not limited to) photo shoots, festivals, competitions, jams, events, parties, human statues, fashion shows, trade shows, television, magazines, college courses, training courses, anatomy & physiology training, practice work, performance art, environmental activism and advertising campaigns.
In addition to modelling for body art, I'm also happy to model for make-up artists and for a wide range of treatments in hair, beauty and nails - including eyelash and eyebrow tinting, eyelash extensions, waxing, electrolysis, spray tanning, facials, manicure, pedicure and nail enhancements.
I have had my ears and navel pierced, and have also had cosmetic tattooing work applied to my nipples and areolae to make them appear larger and more feminine.
