New Model

[Kimberly Dow]

Ok, so all the soccer moms here have been telling me about a Brad Pitt look-alike here in town. I only met him once and he agreed to pose for me. He is usually all buttoned up with glasses. I managed to make him look a red-neck just out of jail.

The first 2 smiley photos are just to see if you all agree he looks like Brad Pitt. Even if I dont paint any of these - I could sell the photos to the housewives in town.

A few more.

A man and his chicken is so.... weird.

The tattoos were a suprise to me. It was the first time I've said "Ok, take your shirt off." to a man other than the husband in ages. It is a different experience using male models.

He does have a Bradish look about him. Paint him in a provocative pose, make a bunch of giclees and sell them to the swooning soccer moms. You will probably have a sell out and make him a local celebrity.

I think you need to get to Corpus Christi as soon as possible.

[Kimberly Dow]

Richard - that's a great idea, except one thing - the soccer mom's have husband's who might not let them buy a print.

Mike, your the second person to tell me that...! I only have a week and a half to go. Besides, I wasn't swooning - but his very pregnant wife was when she saw the photos.

As an old-timer, I'd say he looks more like Martin Milner did in the 60's show Route 66.

[Kimberly Dow]

Chuck, I dont know who that is - I may have to look him up online though to see.

I have a lack of ideas for male models it seems. I have a millon ideas using women, but men are a different story. It seems silly that I can come up with good ideas for narrative paintings using women, but not men - so it is something I'd like to work on.
