I'll be bringing some art supplies to Baitcon, and looking for people to act as models. I prefer nude models, so I thought I might set up down by the creek, but I could be interested in dressed models, too. If you've never modeled before, and are interested in trying, let me know--you can either reply here, drop me some email, or just ask me at the con. If you hear anyone expressing curiosity and interest who might not have read this post, let them know, too, that I'm psyched to have new people model.

I'm particularly interested in amateur and "non-traditional" models-- when I draw from professional models the drawings all come out with approximately the same "art school" feel to them that doesn't interest me so much right now.

I won't paint anyone nude without permission, and if I sketch you doing some random activity, the chances of it being identifiable are pretty low. :-) Still, if being sketched is a horrific thought to you best to let me know.

I'll also bring an extra easel or two and extra materials if anyone else wants to draw. Feel free to ask.

I'm confortable modeling, though I do prefer that anything with my naked image be sufficiently tasteful as to pass the "Mom, this is art, not porn" filter. :-)

I've done a bit of modeling for a photographer friend as an in-kind swap (he posed for me), but I have no training in modeling.

Heck, I might even ask to borrow the extra easel. It's been ages since I've drawn or painted.

I've worked as an 'Art' model for years, so I've got no issue with being painted or scetched. Most likely I'll be busy slathering myself and others in henna paste, so that might keep it from looking too 'posed' or affected looking. I think I know what you're talking about, as I often work with other models, and yeah it can get little silly in terms of 'too poised looking'.
