She's all Glamour!

Voting day for the Midterm elections in the US. I started my morning getting up, taking Hive account@guthrie to school and immediately heading to my polling station. I was in and out in under five minutes, then shot straight to Hive account@caffetto to meet an artist friend. Her name is Cara and she was buying my recently listed, now sold, 12.9” iPad Pro. This thing has been kept in pristine condition since I bought it. Cara is an illustrator and when I asked her, “…have your ever drawn on one of these?”, she said “No.”. That made me so happy because the first few strokes with the Apple Pencil in Procreate is a near religious experience for artists.

Cara’s experience wasn’t any different. She immediately said “Holy shit! Oh my God. I love this!”. I gave her a quick crash course on gestures and shortcuts. I showed her how split screen can aid in reference drawing, either in Safari or Pinterest. I also gave her the introduction lesson to Steemit and why it should be so much of a part of her art ambitions […we’re meeting for a longer get together this week]. All this was a crucial part in me going to the Apple Store bright and early tomorrow morning and buying the new 12.9” iPad Pro. I’ll have a full review and unboxing here on Steemit, but I can’t wait.

Hive account@vermillionfox met up with Hive account@jthiessen for an afternoon of sculpture painting. Hive account@guthrie and I arrived. I began editing and even snuck in a game of MTG with Hive account@dartstrife. Afterwards, I focused in on editing, determined to get another set of edits finished by tonight. A few months ago, I shared photos of Georgie Glamour from Viva Las Vegas. You can read that blog in my previous post, “Georgie Glamour from Viva Las Vegas!”. She was definitely one of my favorite shoots from the Rockabilly Weekend and it’s a crime that it took me so long to get back to another set.

Georgie is an experienced model from The UK. She’d booked with me in mid 2017 and I was looking forward to working with her from that day. When we were finally able to meet, she arrived with distinct wardrobe collections for each individual look. Her hair and make-up was perfect, and it was clear from the first few images I shot, she knew how to model. She had a striking Eastern European look, high cheekbones and piercing blue eyes. Shooting at The Artisan Hotel, with it’s eclectic decor and low lighting, made for an especially haunting mood. Contrasting the shadows against her porcelain skin.

Having a chance to share these new photos of Georgie has been a real pleasure. I am getting caught up, slowly but surely, finishing clients each week. I leave for LA in about a week. I’ll have lots of new work and behind the scenes to share here on Steemit. Speaking of Steemit, I love seeing everyone’s posts as the convergence of my favorite Steemians begin to meet in Krakow, Poland for Steemfest 3. I couldn’t make it happen this year, but please send everyone my love. I’m there in spirit. Steem on!
