Carnival Rejects Shoot

2010-09-03T12:36:00.000-07:00

I made it out to east long island to photograph Samantha Rose for the second time. This girl is so fraking creative. From her clothing (that she designs herself!), to all her accessories everything just flows so well.

We tried to shoot in a local abandoned house, but it supposedly was burned down recently, so we decided to break into a local Halloween Horror House. It was perfect! Here are some of the final images : )

Boat Yard Photography

2010-08-27T15:49:00.000-07:00

So I have been driving past this boat yard for years to go down to the local smoke spot, and I finally got a perfect model to use it.

After getting permission to shoot on the rusty old fixtures, Gabrielle and I had quite a crowd of male workers watching and saying hi. There was even a bird doing the "sexy" whistle.

After a while one of the guys asked if we wanted to shoot on a tugboat... so after grabbing her bikini, Gab and I got rowed onto a tugboat named Courtney. I really wish I had a video camera. I couldn't stop laughing.

I must also comment on the awesomeness of Gabrielle and I hanging out afterwards. There was pizza, debauchery of a pound of yummy italian cookies, and floating around in my pool. I love my Gabrielle <3

Pencil Sketch to Digital art : )

2010-07-14T09:34:00.000-07:00

I always find myself drooling over digital art and wishing I had the time to do some myself. This week, I forced myself to take the 5 hours and complete this. The original sketch that I did with pencil on paper is my version of Helledonna's Ugliest Pet. Next.. im working on a small comic strip based on my main character from World of Warcraft!!!

Pencil on paper scanned to my mac...

All lines recreated by hand with the pen tool in Illustrator....

Adding color with the live paint bucket tool in Illustrator.

Background color added in Photoshop.

Final image : ) Isn't he cute!! lol

Some New Images!

2010-06-17T13:24:00.000-07:00

I have been shooting models like crazy. Here are some from my shoot with Trish and Chinh : )

More can been seen on my Flickr.

Iceland

2010-06-01T09:41:00.000-07:00

So here are some of my favs from Iceland. What a beautiful place. I cannot wait to get back there and see more of it!

Baron Misuraca

2010-05-18T09:31:00.000-07:00

Before I flood my blog with images from Iceland and Amsterdam... here are some captures from my shoot with Baron Misuraca. If you haven't already heard of his comic you should, so check it out HERE. I have read alot of comics in my day, and this is one of the best quality comics I have ever owned. Thank you Baron for by far the coolest, and earliest Halloween presents ever : )

ps you can also check out his site HERE

I'd rather be in Iceland!

2010-05-12T14:33:00.001-07:00

Still recovering from my trip, Iceland was amazingly jaw dropping, and Amsterdam, well besides being a garbage dump, it was super entertaining. I will be updating with images over the next few days.

Eyjafjallajökull, the erupting volcano in Icleand right now. Hearing her rumble, and seeing ash clouds just pouring out faster than I could see was about the most exciting thing I have ever experienced. Thank you to our driver Oley, without his crazy driving, this image would not have been captured.

Warmer Places

2010-04-29T08:26:00.000-07:00

Since I am leaving for Iceland in 3 days, I figured I would post some stuff from my last "hot" vacation. I am gonna be bundled up like you'd never believe!

More Abandoned Places

2010-04-27T09:44:00.000-07:00

Rich and I found this house in Pennsylvania somewhere on a side road while we were trying to get to a Dairy Queen. Awesome find, but looked to unstable to go inside. This morgue was where I shot Kimberleigh G as seen HERE

Need to find more!!

Abandoned Places

2010-04-24T21:13:00.001-07:00

I have a love for abandonments.. maybe its the adrenaline, or maybe it's the feeling I get deep in my gut. Either way, I am glad to have documented these amazing places.

Old Photos

2010-04-23T12:50:00.000-07:00

So I have been going through my old photos, and just getting the itch to share em with someone other than my Japanese fighting fish, Zaboo. Think I might upload one or 2 a day for awhile.

Please enjoy : )

Vintage Effect

2010-04-15T13:06:00.000-07:00

I cant stop playing with these photos! Love this dramatic vintage effect.

I am not religious but I do love religious art, and this is in no way meant to offend the highly offend-able. This is JUST art.
I originally meant this to be a tribute to the pope, who somehow gets away with everything, but it ended up becoming something I thought was very beautiful. Enjoy!

*This art was made with love by me, Bria Tigh and Rich Mallery, who are the 2 major ingredients of "Kissing Chaos".

Wrapped in Fur

2010-04-09T12:37:00.000-07:00

Albino Western Diamond Back and Elvis has left the building.

2010-03-12T15:08:00.000-08:00

So I randomly took Rich to D and J's to show him my old pair of Sidewinder Rattlesnakes. Turns out Priscilla ate Elvis one afternoon. This is very very sad news. RIP to the best snake I ever cared for.

Oh and here is a beautiful Albino Western Diamond Back they had. Makes me want to buy a Vision Cage.

+5 sexterity!!

So it has been awhile, guess I haven't had the time to publish my thoughts. I've been working 2 jobs, dancing a little, playing WOW, watching old episodes of the Guild, and smoking Strawberry blunts like they are going out of style... of wait.. they are! These anti-tobacco lobbyists better not extend the flavored cigarette ban to cigars. I will cry....but my lungs will be smiling. Doorstepped!

I got tixx to Star Wars Live!!! Currently sewing a Sith Robe to wear, along with my Chewbacca back-hugging backpack. It's gonna be nerd-tastic!

Oh and I am in love.

She is funny, she sings, oh and she is a Gamer!

You should watch her show from season 1 here and if you like it.. you should buy her music video here

So I haven't been shooting much of anything, but here is what i have been up to.....

2009-09-03T13:13:00.000-07:00

I graduated... now its time to face reality.... ughh.
Reality sucks.

I really think I just want a office job.. with a little desk.. and my little cup filled with pens, maybe a picture of Tricia Helfer, and a drawer filled to the top with Mike and Ikes. Yumm.

Oooo vote for my pics please... that is if you like it! ...vote here

Some new pics....

Wish summer wasnt ending yet : (

2009-07-29T18:46:00.000-07:00

So things have been rather hectic lately.

I have been shooting sooo much, I need to catch up with my editing.

A group of us shot in Pilgrim State... fracking scary!! Big props to the models for having the guts to go in there!! Shooting Kim in the morgue was probably the scariest thing I have done in my life.

I modeled for the awesome Stuart of Razor 7 and Rich of Frog516 and I met a awesome model and convinced her to get in my pool in the freezing cold. It was way too much fun and I am glad to have made new friends. I even got to shoot the amazing Sienna Aldridge : )

Sometimes I just want to lay down and relax but I have too much stuff on my mind. I hope once school ends my brain will be able to take a rest. I have definitely been in overdrive for the last year or two. I keep telling myself it will be worth it. I hope it is. So thank you to everyone who has been around me, listened to me ramble and vent, and been there for me. My madness will be over soon.

2009-07-12T19:44:00.000-07:00

My first abandonment..... a house with a very creepy feeling.... check it out.

Haven't cut hair in like 2 weeks.. what an awesome feeling. Im dreading going back tomorrow. Ugh. But things could be worse.... oh wait.. they are.

Can you ever truly make up for something horrible you did? I an in need of a psychic, or a exorcist. Or maybe I can use my jedi mind tricks. Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.

This site is cool....Find A Grave!

Everyday is Sunday

2009-05-20T19:20:00.001-07:00

Where did I go wrong? It is related to a part of Japanese culture, so selling your virginity on EBAY can't be that bad, right? Fracking genius, dirty but genius! I cant insert the link but its a pretty amusing article. Any thoughts on the idea?

I fucking hate most supercuts customers. Im convinced, we should just relocate all stores right into a Wallmart. This way they can pick up a trailer extension and get the mullet trimmed.

I want this fracking clock!!!

2009-05-13T09:47:00.000-07:00

Organizing my ipod into genres is really starting to become a task : / I like organization... but is it worth my sanity? I think not. Look at my fustration....

So I have to start interning.... and I need a new job where I make money. Supersluts is gonna interfere with my internship. I need to bartend or something..... I just can't find a job! WTF! Does anyone know any bars who need a bartender? Please let me know!

The best stuffed animals ever... I know what I'm giving everyone for their birthdays.........

After the longest semester ever, I'm finally done. Woohoo... some pictures for fun : ) The ones of me were taken by classmates with the exception of the last one. I took that one.

A Grown Ups Fairy tale?

2009-04-08T21:21:00.000-07:00

Dancing in the cantina sure does work up a appetite, dang!

So Rich sparked my interest in Creationism. Maybe it was Mr Green's Earth Science class, or maybe it was the weekly beatings I recieved when I told my parent's I did not want to attend church, or have anything to do with God, but seriously.....I really think most people don't think. Check it...

*About 45% of Americans believe the "God created human beings pretty much in the present form at on time within the last 10,000 years or so."

*Another 37% believe that "Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process.

So I fall in the 14% that believe that human beings have developed without God's help. That's sad. Now I am in no way bashing anyone who has faith, or believes in whatever God they believe in. Life is crazy. You work your ass off, get some disease, and die. Most people need something to believe in to get them past the shocking reality of what we are as living, immortal beings. I respect that. But to charge $21.95 admission fee to get into the Creation Museum... why thats just ghastly, and even faithful people might think this is as ridiculous as I do.

For that small price, you get answers to all your pondered questions.

You even get to ride a dinosaur like your ancestors did way back when!!! ...Ughhh wait....that can't be right!

So who is up for a road trip?

On a lighter note... I want to thank my followers! You rock! <3<3<3<3

My final project is taking up all my time, but I have been able to find some time to try some product photography. I need input please!

Im off too dream about kitties and octopi and Mr. Mallery. But then again can anyone get a good nights sleep knowing that Marital Rape is legal in India?

So here goes my blogspot.

Should be filled with random rants and photo updates from my day to day life.

Watching this "snake photographer" grab a Cobra by the tail... and of course the inevitable happens... he gets tagged.

"For F**ks sack, Ive been bitten!"

Not only did you plant the snake there, but you think your fooling anyone. We know you have a truck full of antivenom ready for your stupid ass. Your not tuff.

I am completely addicted to Threadless.com Support awesome artists...buy a shirt. All your friends will be jealous.

Fun pic from studio to the right. Thats Barbara, and Will, and me : ) I love my classmates <3<3

Oh and by the way.. if I had 1.4 trillion times all the money in the world I could build a Death Star!!! This article is fantabulously awesome! I would need to upgrade it though. That price doesn't include my dream 4 floor cantina filled with Twil'ek dancers and all the spice you can smoke.
