Yellow Background
What do you think of the new yellow background? I modeled in front of it, and Dylan captured these shots on my birthday yesterday! I also have a Teal one that's brand new. I wonder what my third color should be? (The hardware holds 3)Thank you for the birthday wishes, and for being on here! It means the world. I have lots of photos to edit, so keep an eye on this page <3
It's my Birthday.... Photoshoot!
Wow! What a wonderful day. I started things off by getting photographed by my good friend (and former assistant) Dylan Riggs! He has always been great with the camera, and used to shoot my behind the scenes stuff... so he seemed like a natural fit!I wanted to chronicle another year for the books, in a playful, and occasionally, provocative way! I think these pictures did what they were supposed to do (while still being artsy)!Though do be warned, I show more skin as you progress through this post. If that's somehow strange or unexpected, th...
Happy 2024!
I helped two different parties ring in the New Year! I was hired to turn Jolie into into the golden woman from James Bond films, and Seth into a beautiful Mime! I have brand NEW art I still need to edit as well!Taking some time today to catch my breath.Thank you for believing in me! What do you want for yourself in 2024?
Owl City Returns
My Owl City photoshoot with Hunter and Aaron has long been a popular painting, but very few edits were ever released! I'd like to shake things up and share some new stuff today!Some of these are gems! <3The photo above was the main picture I released, but nobody ever saw this cute photo of them kissing below:You never saw playful outtakes like this, with Aaron and Hunter laughing as I try to help them bondOr artsy photos like this! This painting was done during the great Tumblr Era :PBecause there is a lot of censorship on different platfor...
New Series: Heat Waves
After going through the photos of Jay and Corey, and feeling inspired, I have decided to start a new series called "Heat Waves"! You may remember older projects like "Contact" and "Duality" which celebrated relationships and connections. This would be similar!I love exploring the connection that people have with each other.Jay helped me come up with this pose for Corey!You might not be able to tell, but this is in front of my new TEAL backdrop!Though we also got some beautiful photos in the room!Ready to see more of this...
Happiest of Holidays
Hello my friend! Just wanted to express appreciation and thanks for you today! This is a weird time of year for many, but it can also be a time of joy. Knowing we have someone in our corner makes all the difference in the world. I hope today was merry and kind to you.And thank you, without your kind support, my life would be very different! πβ€οΈ
Teal Sneak Peek
Here are a couple BTS photos featuring the new Teal backdrop. Corey and Jay look amazing here, don't you agree? I'll have official photos up soon, but I finished a Spirited Away painting today, and I'm exhausted.Making a cake tomorrow morning!SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!Look for more art soon, but until then, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Winter Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, and everything in between!Brandon π

Los Angeles Tour 12/15 to 12/19
Hope this message didn't wake you! But I wanted to drop a quick note to say I'm travelling to LA on 12/15 to work with a couple of people, as well as do a little networking before the end of the year! Last time I worked with Thomas (pictured), Ian, Tannor, RJ, and more! I've got RJ and Josh planned, but I'm still locking down the rest of my appointments!If you're in the area and want to get painted, you have a tiny window to do so! It's a pretty unforgettable experience though :DThen I'll be back next week to paint 6...
Maybe I'm just a dreamer?
Hello friend! I'm back with a new post, this time featuring the rather gorgeous Toby! I actually just reached out to him today and asked if he wanted to work on my next project together (and he said yes), so here is hoping we can schedule soon!We got a lot of amazing photos during this shoot! The cloud background is NOT CGI, it's something I made!There were lots of cool lighting changes during the shoot, and some pretty wild angles.I hope you enjoyed the post, and cross your fingers that we do some more art together <3-Brandon

Put a bird on it!
Happy December! Thank you for the support! Not only did I just complete a new painting, but the Hummingbird is hanging in a gallery NOW!Feat Laura Dragon!
Brandon draws... Yvie Oddly!
No, really!This was actually super tricky because I always ALWAYS use color. Seriously! Have you seen my art? Even in my most black and white body paintings. There is sooo much color. For this one? I challenged myself to ONLY do black and white linework....And, well, here we are. How did I do?Don't go anywhere though... I have Laura's new body art to share AND more Mario body painting stuff.. so stick around!Love Ya!Brandon
Mario World Teaser...
Featuring a new model, Thomas (not like Thomas, or Thomas previously). :P He's really into Motorcycles, but has gotten into painting as a less reckless hobby. He says he's pretty good at Mario Kart... but I think I can take him!Did you notice Toad coming out of the Warp Pipe?Ready to level up?Your Paintin' Pal,-Brandon

The Black Friday Post
This has certainly be an interesting year! From creating the Angler Fish, to reuniting with Wyly, to creating Pastel, multiple anniversary paintings, Shape of You, Super Bowl event, fashion events, acting, modelling, and then I officiated my first wedding! First Pageant! It's been a lot, ok? :PAs you probably read, I'm trying a Black Friday Sale. I don't do this often...ever... so I'm sorry if this seems like an advertising. I just really want to continue doing what I love...which is paint people. So if you'll indulge me... ...
Thankful for You!
Hello friends! I know this time of year is hard for a lot of us. Sure, the holiday has a controversial history, but it's often used as a vehicle to get families together. For better or for worse. To say that I've had a difficult relationship with mine is an understatement, so I've found myself safer and happier disconnecting from them. Unfortunately you still miss people, even if they suck. That's why I want to spend a moment to really thank you. The last few years since the Pandemic have been rough, and business never really b...
Feather Filled Fantasy
Hello friends!I've got some new photos of Bennett from my ANIMA series, featuring more of Howl's Moving Castle. The play that Bennett was in required him to keep his facial hair, which actually worked out for the look I was going for!He actually just shaved it shortly after our photoshoot.So I pulled into the art to create the feathery look to compliment his beard.He's almost NEVER in a beard, especially in my shoots, so this is a rare treat!And of course, Bennett always brings the drama in every photo, don't you think?Are you r...
Anima Returns!
Hi friends! I'm ready to share more from my Anima series, this time featuring Angel! Not only was this painting a fun and unique challenge, but I enjoyed working with the model again after our painting together a couple of years ago!Amusingly enough, I only had a TRAILER to work off of. I had assumed that "The Boy and the Heron" was out, and we would watch it during the painting. Instead we watched the trailer, and I tried to use my imagination to connect the dots.Here is the trailer I used for inspiration:https://www.youtube.com/wa...
Home from Texas!
Wow! What a trip! I was flown in to Dallas for a Pageant competition. I'll have more on that later, but here is a peek at Luiz Fatale!
New Series: Anima!
Ahhh so excited! I'm back with a fun announcement. My new series "Anima" kicks off today with an homage to Howl's Moving Castle and the lovable Calcifer (voiced in the American dub by the amusing sounding Billy Crystal). Check out this next photo for the Calcifer reveal!You may have noticed Bennett also has some wicked facial hair! He's in a play right now and has to keep it, which actually worked great for this character! Did you know Howl, in the American dub, was voiced by Christian Bale?We also got some really moody ligh...
Bennett and Angel
Hi friends! Happy November to you. I'm working with Bennett and Angel this weekend, so I thought I'd look back at their most recent paintings with me. Some of these edits are new, so please enjoy! On Bennett, I did a Brontosaurus and a Stegosaurs! On Angel, I transformed him into a floral cyberpunk fantasy!Do you like the Bronto?Those eyes are piercing!I love Bennett's expression here!Angel delivered some fun poses!I'm really in love with the above shot!Finally a reflective moment with Angel...!Are you looking forward to seeing ...
Happy November!

Hi friends! Wow it has been quite the week. I'm painting tomorrow and Saturday, but I took time today to hike up north!However I wanted to drop a beautiful batch of photos that Holly Shoemaker took of me!She's a mega talented photographer, and it's not often I have others capture me!What do you think of the spooky look?
Touch of Midas
A long time friend Todd (who is also in the Escape Room I did artwork for) and I recently reconnected, and we made some lovely art together. I painted this on Friday, and then had a booth at Pride both days! I'm still editing Todd's photos, but wanted to share a few favorites that have emerged... like this one:Or if you're feeling cheeky, how about this one?I also ran into Todd at Pride, the day after I painted him, and he still had some of the paint on! He had slept in it the night before. :DHope you enjoy this first look at Todd&#...
The Terrific Todd
