If I’m not on here lately, it’s entirely because of the world at large.

Work has been great, I’m so lucky that family is healthy and happy, but the constant drive for divide in our country is infuriating.

Being fake is incentivized.
Hate is incentivized.
Lies are common practice.
There is profit in divide, in waste, in destruction. Censorship, control, and repression is becoming more acceptable.

All of this, and more, is truly unacceptable.

For now, my choice has been to limit my time online. I hope to see community and friends or their art in person, or hmu if you know my number.

Until later, love you all. I hope everyone remembers that your neighbor is not your enemy. Think hard about who benefits from division in our country and cast your stones where they matter. Don’t be a pawn for the gains of the greedy.

✌🏻with love

I push my clients to get uncomfortable during off season for bodybuilding…. Do a shoot in the off season and the prep season shoots are a breeze. @xnilasx wanted to create some art so we played around a little in his studio.
.
Definitely uncomfortable with being deep in bulk but none the less we move on. I challenge you to do an off season shoot. It’s good for the soul.

Happy Mother’s Day to this super loyal, protective, empathetic, nurturing, loving, caring, selfless, humorous and playful mother. 🍻 @rosegerberpnw

The time is flying by. The boys love and appreciate you and we’re all lucky that you are the kind of mother you are. Your maternal instinct and power is top tier. Thank you for all the love you give and lessons you teach the boys. You’re napping with Fox and taking a moment to be with him and I can see you snuggled next to him on his camera. He loves his mom so much, I hope you know how safe and loved he feels. Thank you for building confidence in him and giving absolute security to him.

I’ll see you here in a bit. 🖤 taken in Cobalt Studios PDX by @xnilasx

Been trying to get out of a pretty lengthy funk, so I’m digging out the archives and setting up new photo sets. Clinking the gears and grinding the rust off with my teeth. I keep telling myself I need to stop whining and start conquering. To stop analyzing every gosh darn thing and exist without fear. Eventually, I will listen. Eventually, I’ll make this space-time continuum my female dog. Then the great voice from the sky will speak upon me and say “[the great voice in the sky has liked your post]” and I will be satiated will brief and mild satisfaction.

Here’s some pictures from my hard drive.

Would you join fellow creatives here?

Evening + Night is Sleepwalker, which is trance-like somber vibes outdoors. Think sleepwear outside, inspired by mystery and alien abduction.

Creative camp out (or off individually)

Morning is Dirt. Think 1940s looks great n the early morning soil. Also somber, a little mysterious.

Create some concepts that could vibe with this and join us on location July 10th/11th about 20 minutes out of Molalla, Oregon.

We’re based out of Portland, and hoping to see a lot of our friends from Eugene all the way up toward Seattle. I’m really excited to see you there and in the earlier event on the coast!
