Our trip to Comic Con was amazing! Our good friend Lucy, was able to hook it up with a seat at the table for Disney’s “Draw Me Like One of Your Disney Girls”, to talk about the economic disparities and lack of representation of marginalized communities in art modeling and what our has been doing to change that narrative to empower autonomy over the narrative of BIPOC and LGTBQ+ bodies. And we are looking forward to coming back next year!
The figurative painting in oil workshop was a great success and full of admiration from everyone in attendance. Full of melanin and joy for the traditional art. The vibes were just immaculate. We hope to come back next year with more dates, that highlights on inclusive representation and access the arts education.
Our Third Sunday was hunky as hell.
Allan and Peter truly put on a super dynamic evening with so man beuaotuflly choregraphed poses and emotion
Our first LA event was a hit! Shadia and Erika did an amazing job, giving us a Sun and earth themed event. Jade, our musician and our lovely host on behalf of Secret walls HQ; serenaded us throughout the evening. We are hoping to make this a quarterly event, and collaborate with more eclectic performers of the So Cal region.
