Artistic pose modeling is not my given profession, but I ended up with an interesting assortment of clients. Some, but not all include college classes, art school classes, senior center art classes, art and wine drawing parties, book clubs, artists retreats and enclaves, private groups, individuals’ private requests. The art mediums have been everything from photography, videography, paper, paint, sculpture, body painting, body casting, web cam extra, medical model patient for local University, massage therapists in training, working with therapists/patient interaction issues that involve an open-minded male, therapy gender studies, and individuals that are simply body curious.
It is a very diverse group of clients which include couples plus one, groups of females, mixed groups, individuals, mixed non binary individuals, gay persons. I am not judgmental. I have pretty much seen everything and happy to help individuals overcome biases and explore their desires through art. Age groups vary from just 18 to well into the senior years. I have been surprised that there are many that say they just want someone to talk with. I sometimes regard myself as a bartender therapist that serves up a naked body and tries to dispel any sort of shame associated being body positive through noticing, trusting, valuing, and communicating.
One of my more unique clients is a body casting artist. She does pregnant belly casts, breasts, vagina casting (made into coffee cups – ha-ha) and penis casting. She hired me to assist her in her first forays into penis casting a few years ago. She said she enjoyed working with me and was happy I could follow instructions, had no disabling ego, and could communicate in a literate and interesting manner. One year ago, she made a cast from my belly button to my upper thighs, front and back. The finished sculpture is a very detailed rendition. She said my body was very similar (but a little better endowed) to Michelangelo’s David located in the Accademia Gallery in Florence, Italy. Like all artists, she sells her work and has been amazed that this torso sculpture is very popular piece of sellable art. The torso is so detailed you can see skin pores, wrinkles, and skin folds.
The casting process involved rubbing a mold release on my skin like Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. Shaving any hair that I did not want to have ‘waxed’ off by the casting media. She did not want a erect penis albeit she cited that that may be something to consider in the future. She liked that I was circumcised and had a pronounced ‘mushroom’ head for sculptural interest. After I was covered in mold release the molding media was brushed on and allowed to dry. It is very fast drying like the stuff they cast teeth with at dental clinics. After drying the casting is removed like a pair of short, very tight-fitting pants.
This mold is modified so can she pour in inexpensive plaster test for irregularities. The finished product is then cast in a more durable bronze colored epoxy resin.
Some have asked me for some more stories from my modeling and happy to convey them I hope you find this a bit arousing and interesting. This is not as lurid of a story as a few of my other ones.
