Goth Swimsuit Ms June

May 31, 2009 Goth

Xotica was Ms June. She was one of the first models to come in from out of town, in this case Austin.
Little bit of Houston trivia, Howard Hughes is buried in Houston in the beautiful Glenwood cemetery. We shot this image an other there, kind of commando. They are pretty cool with people being [...]

Goth Swimsuit Ms May

May 30, 2009 Goth

If April was April Showers, then May must be May Flowers.
Here we have model Spleen in a multiple exposure. The suit was specially made for her by the wizards at SINched.
This was an image we shot, but never used. The boots Spleen is wearing have literally 12 inch heels, with a 4 inch at least [...]

Goth Swimsuit Ms April

May 29, 2009 Goth

April showers with a twist. A drowned model and a man with magic.
This idea was Marc’s and he managed to work himself into another month, though I don’t think that was his plan.
The model was one of only 2 models I would say weren’t goth at all. She was actually tan. Nor is she [...]

Goth Swimsuit Ms March

May 28, 2009 Goth

There just aren’t many good holidays in March.
St. Patrick’s day doesn’t really lend itself to Goth.
Ankha’s boyfriend at the time was Brian Crump, who was a body painter. We decided to do something theatrical. We had masks. We got this.
The three masked people? Marc Moorash, my wife Suanna, and Model Spleen, who was also [...]

Goth Swimsuit Ms February

May 27, 2009 Goth

Of course February is dominated by Valentines Day. Which makes us think Cupid.

Goth Swimsuit Ms January

May 26, 2009 Goth

We started with the idea of baby – or in this case babe – new year taking over from the old year/father time. Babe was a great idea because we could strip her down a bikini. But we had to put a twist on it of course.
Maybe last year wasn’t quite ready to go.
The model [...]

My Goth Swimsuit Calendar

May 25, 2009 Featured

I mentioned last week when talking about creating interesting work that I had done a Goth Swimsuit calendar. It was shot during the summer of 2006 and was for the year 2007. Since then the website for that calendar has gone away and there really isn’t anywhere you can see the images. So I decided [...]
