Tools of the Trade!

One of the primary projects I'm focusing on this year is an erotic horror series, tentatively called HEX.  This monthly goal level will allow me to get started on putting this series into production!

With this goal, I will be able to take my work on the road to photograph and video models, musicians and interesting people around the country.
My Own Photo Studio!

Welcome to my Patreon community, where you can help support the creation of my many photo, video and book projects by becoming one of my illustrious patrons!

Who are you?
I spend most of my time behind the camera, capturing portraits of Los Angeles' unique faces, shooting beautifully raw nudes, local characters, musicians and performers.  Outside the studio, I'm writing new film scripts and fictions shorts, producing and directing short films and creating strange and interesting digital art.

Now I am looking to Patreon to foster a community of patrons that allows me to better connect with my supporters and better create my art.

How Can I Help?
It's always been my dream to have a singular outlet to produce and deliver stories and art directly to a community.  Patreon gives me the chance to do that.

Starting at just $2/month you will become part of my Patreon Community.  Every day you'll have new content delivered to your inbox.  Every post is available to patrons to view, discuss, interact and ask questions about the work on hand.

But wait, there's more... (said in best announcer voice)
There are plenty of other perks to becoming a patron; from behind the scene images and stories to monthly print releases, discounts on annual book releases and selections of my short films, there's a little something for everyone.

Why should I become a patron?
I absolutely love what I do, but let's face it, art doesn't come cheap.  From gear maintenance to studio rentals, props and everything in between, producing work is often an expensive endeavor.  With your support, I will be able to focus entirely on creating art and growing my vision as well as having the ability to put several photo, book and film projects into motion for my Patreon Community.

Okay, I'm in.  Now that I'm a patron, what can I expect?
I'm glad you asked! Every day, I'll be streaming new content to all Patrons.  At the start, my weekly schedule is looking something like this:

MONDAY
A brand new photo set and accompanying story and technical information about the photos.

TUESDAY
New short fiction.

WEDNESDAY 
A photo set from the archives and accompanying story.

THURSDAY
News Updates from the studio.  Information on what I'm currently producing as well as upcoming projects and events as well as discount information on my annual book series.

FRIDAY
Behind the Scenes photo set and accompanying story.

From there I'll be coming up with new and interesting content to stream to the community each week as each milestone is achieved.

I look forward to seeing all of you become part of my community.  It's been a long time coming, and I'm thrilled to be able to share this journey with you!
