Monkey Business

I'm a big admirer of monkeys. I used to live in an apartment that faced the trees back in Rio de Janeiro (Rio's urban area is surrounded by forests) and I would see them come and go every now and again. They were extremely intelligent, very social, resourceful and displayed a wide range of personalities and moods...

Burlesque!

I was fortunate to find a group of life drawing enthusiasts here in London. To my surprise a lot of the models are Burlesque performers and often pose in costume. This was done after one of my life drawing studies of one of these performers.
