Back in Town! Poison Ivy Shooting in Witten

Hey again!

I know i haven't posted anything in decades. Shame on me! 
There was so much trouble going on in the last few months. I changed my location and moved back to my hometown in Germany for health reasons and had to leave Barcelona behind.
Nevermind, I started a new life learning a new job and going on even more powerful than ever!!

I got some great news! In June I'm gonna paint in a gallery in NY! I got Carla Goldberg's confirmation a few weeks ago and am kind of so excited to go there!! In september there will be an exhibition of Mirca Art Group in Cologne where I'll expose 1-2 pictures of my works. Life couldn't get any better right now :)
For further information about the event and the exhibition pls contact me!

So, I was about to tell you about the last great shooting I did!
I was asked by a friend to make a Poison Ivy disguise for her for a game convention in Essen, Germany. I had 1 day to finish it and in my opinion it turned out great!
My parents helped me dying the hemp, glueing the leaves and stealing ivory from our garden :D
Unfortunately the photos didn't become good at all. So I had to ask another friend of mine, the amazing Elena, to be my Poison Ivy model for 1 day.
We had a fun time watching TV, eating Pizza and chatting a lot during the painting session.
We didn't have any further photo-equipment, so her houseplant and my Canon 1000D had to help out :D
Quote Elena: "Gosh, I don't want to take it off anymore! Can't I go to school like this tomorrow?"

Thanks for this amazing day, Elena&Jan!! You're such a great couple and I'm glad to know you!

Here's the fruit of my work and Elena's great patience (and Jan's incredible talent of lighting ;D)




I really hope you like it! :)
