Summertime Modeling...

So summer is here and regular universities and classes are out. Modeling work is a bit harder to come by this time of year but I'm still drawing work with individual artists and studios.

It's a been awhile since I've posted which was mostly due to the fact that I was modeling quite a bit at a number of the venues where I regularly model. The last part of the spring semester at universities can get quite hectic as students try to get in as much work as possible. I love having the opportunity to model at that time because I feel that this is when most of the budding artists for whom I am modeling work their hardest.

Luckily some of the places I model like Northern Illinois University run a number of drawing clusters and art camps during the summer so I can continue modeling at places where I have an established relationship. I'm still modeling for The Galaxie and POE.M Art House which are fantastic local art outlets for artists looking to get access to life models.

Hopefully I can line up enough gigs this summer to keep a roof over my head and food on the table...
