A photoshoot with Dave Nestler and Bruce Gates. Absolutely amazing to work with them.

On a chilly Sunday afternoon at The Art Factory in Akron, Ohio, I met with artist Dave Nestler, photographer and owner of The Art Factory Bruce Gates, and TV producer Ronnie James. While Dave choreographed and Bruce worked his magic with the camera, we collected the shots needed for Dave’s upcoming painting, "Bored of Education."

Dave, a global leader in pinup art, will be exhibiting the finished 25 x 30 canvas for the first time at the Mid-Ohio-Con in Columbus, Ohio on November 26th and 27th. The book will be released to the public and available for purchase Summer 2006. Look for me on the cover.

See me there signing pictures and prints along with Playboy Playmates Destiny Davis, Angela Malini, Kathy St. George and Internet model Jasmine Grey. Admission tickets to the convention are available for $20.00/one day pass or $30.00/two day pass.
