Body
artists Mark Reid and Pam Trent organized this 1st annual event that took place
in September at the Albuquerque, New Mexico Embassy Suites. The New Mexico
Bodypainting Festival included classes taught by instructors from around the
country, bodypaint jams, and the well attended U.S. Bodypainting
Competition. This event was open to the public for a nominal charge of $18
and many of event attendees enjoyed it so much that they ended up going home in
paint! Click on the picture above to see more of my images and the
chronicles of my 3-day adventure there. http://www.futureclassx.com/bodypaint/NewMexico06/NewMexico06.htm
I traveled to Las Vegas to bodypaint these stunning models for the Thermolife
booth at the Mr. Olympia competition. Thermolife is a bodybuilding supplement
manufacturer based in Arizona and they had a unprecedented amount of traffic at
their booth this year. These girls were photographed at least a hundred
times an hour throughout the whole convention and kept their seductive smiles
intact throughout it all. Click on the picture to see more images and the
full story from this event. http://www.futureclassx.com/bodypaint/thermolife/Olympia06/Olympia06.htm
As I write this, I have been with Creative Designs in Lighting for just over 3 months. I was not unhappy with my career as an Electrical Engineer and I really enjoyed the people that I was working with at Sullivan Designs, Inc., but my instinct led me to transition into lighting design. I had been having some longings to start my own company when I received a call from the revered lighting designer Walter Spitz, who owns Creative Designs in Lighting. He inquired if I was interested in joining his firm and I thought that it was a very opportune time to make the shift and have the added advantage of being able to learn from one of the best in the industry. Lighting design incorporates a lot of the electrical engineering principles that I have acquired over the years, but it also flexes my creative muscles and spotlights my artistic side too. So far I have worked on projects in Hawaii, Texas, California, and several right here in Arizona. I have gained field experience in aiming and focusing light fixtures in several multi-million dollar homes owned by celebrity clients. Thus far it has been very challenging, but I look forward to becoming more adept and hopefully being considered among the best in the industry one day.
