Behind the scenes:
Medusa

Long before my photo sessions could begin I gathered materials to build my "head of snakes" and "snake skin" makeup. I wanted to play on light and dark colors so every shade of light was layered over a flat black.
My rubber snake cap was coated in primer first then sprayed flat black. The eyes were painted a slick more shiny black when my model arrived on shoot day the same concept was applied to her make up to keep the look as realistic and consistent as possible.

Wig cap on first I applied flat black powder on then worked on the placement of individual scale clusters. Layer after layer of makeup and applying the same to the snakes, I created my own spin on Medusa and her serpents.
It's the little things, each step that slowly builds the larger picture, that tell a story, those are what matter most and are seldom seen.

You can find more from the set in Sanctuary Magazine Issue #19

Hello Everyone.
I don't always take over my Momma Bear's
page, but, when I do it's important.
Since birth I've pretty much held my awesome family hostage with the power of my irresistible charms. I plan to keep it this way till I reach some very nescessary milestones😜
Don't worry though, 2016 will be her year since I took the majority of her 2015, I'm very sure there will be a lot of fun surprises since my Ma is quite the magic maker.
On her behalf, I just want to say thank you for your patience and hopefully everyone has a marvelously grand holiday week.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!😘

Evocation is the magical art of calling forth spirits, angels or demons to bring spiritual inspiration, do the bidding of the magician or provide information. Methods of this exist in many cultures that feature a belief in spirits, such as the shamanic traditions. Daoism, Shintoism, Spiritism and the African-American religions (Santería, Umbanda etc.), have particular systems of evocation.

ARTIST FEATURE OF THE WEEK:
Michael O Digital Artist.

When I first looked into this artist I was entirely blown away, AmalgaMATE had me hooked. His style is seriously known as "" photo-manipulation on steroids ""
his AmalgaMATE Is truly an amazing piece that stands entirely alone and it actually inspired me to learn more about digital painting and a new way of using photo shop.

When you do all possible to make a stunning image and push the limits with this tool you can make impossible things look very real.

I think when people can't tell if you've re-touched an image, it's wonderful. In this case you're looking at a seamless Digital Painting. Micheal gives us a new perspective on what can be done and I love him for it, hope you like him too~

(January 2009. Original Photographer: George Mayer Model: Nadezda Korobkova. Moscow, Russia)

best high quality professional beautiful photo manipulation artist

Heres a very quick bit you might find super adorable ;)

So my amazing buddy Joe asked if I could work with him to make a special something for an important person in his life- you guys know Im not about to turn it down lol- so while we were talking I got to whipping up a neat little composite. Its chock full of layers and images to make one adorable little scene but its priceless :)

It never ceases to amaze me how much we can change in a lifetime ~

When a 101 year old woman offered to sit for the photographer Anatasia Pottinger, she had one request: she would do anything so long as she could not be identified from the images. After the artist’s intimate sessions with this subject, she was moved to continue to explore the beauty of the aging bo…
