The Flight of the Feather Fans
Hello friends! I'm back with a NSFW post featuring my new fans! They light up, and I built the feathers with a wire cutter! Thank you to Erik for assisting, and for taking these photos.I had mentioned on Monday that I intended to post photos of Emma on Saturday, and Dantsme on Sunday. A last minute request to build these delayed things, so please look forward to them on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Because I was not going to have time to shoot with a model, I became the muse to show these off πReady to see a little skin? Look how...
The Return Of...
...the Kings! That's right, it's Justin and Bennett!

They were pulled close, and enjoying a moment of tenderness with each other. I'm glad it was captured here <3I'll wrap thin...
Late Nights with Conan
Remember Conan O'Brien? Man, it sure seemed like that guy could say ANYTHING, and not be penalized. That's how comedy works.... usually. Freedom of speech is super important, especially when emotions are high. Anyway, I've got a different sort of Conan for you! Here is my friend, Conan, the Hairdresser!To start things off, here is the header image, uncropped:Wowzers! He's looking dangerous! <3Here is Conan partially painted, just before our session:Is This A Swish Swish Bish Moment?With or without the hat, he's serving up ca...

Synesthesia Part II
Hello loves! I'm back with Part II of my Synesthesia post, this time focusing on the artwork that Saint created on me! You may remember in my previous post, I had painted Saint twice before in a joint painting, and this was our second session:What does that mean? I did these body paintings at the SAME time that Saint painted me! That's not easy O_oBeen working out lately though, so I'm up to the task! :DFor Saint's painting, he wanted to create a sort of biblical angel with multiple eyes, a hand, some trees, and a pair of wings ...

Synesthesia
What is Synesthesia? It's a neurological phenomenon where a stimulus in one sensation or cognitive pathway triggers a response in a second, unrelated pathway. People such as Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish have reported experiencing it, so let's illuminate the topic!My body painting with Saint reminds me of what someone might experience when listening to music, a dancing cataclysm of color, texture, and deep bass. Are you someone that experiences this? Let's explore this more!Recently we painted each other in a dazzling display of skil...

This captivating canvas joined me for a recent session after seeing my work with Atlas, and wanted to experience it for himself! That means lights, cameras, action! Plus a whole lotta paint :DBecause this was his first experience, I didn't try to cover him from head to toe with paint, but we still covered quite a bit.

New Logo + New Merch O_O
Holy Cow! Well it happened. It's my first new logo in YEARS, and it happens to be an Angler Fish. Why? It's for those out there lighting their own way. I see you. May it bring you, or someone you love, a little bit of brightness. And with that, the Strange and Mysterious world of Brandon McGill grows just a bit more. You can now pre-order this design as a SHIRT! Or a Pillow!

Taking Flight
Good Evening! The desert winds bring gifts, in the form of new photos of the statuesque Edwin! One of the few models I've worked with that's taller than ME!This shoot was done to test out the new wings I just built... though I never need an excuse to work with him. He's always a glorious human, and talented at his craft. That's right, he's also a makeup artist, on top of being a runway model. Edwin is one of the few people who has done MY makeup as well, which makes him pretty cool in my book. And what a beat it was! Anyway,...
New Logo
It's the first new logo in years... as suggested by my fans... an Angler Fish version of "Body Art Brandon"! What do you think of this bold design?

This is just the first draft that I sent for feedback, but it should give you a general idea of where it's heading:Please look forward to more body art soon!Love + Art,Brandon
