Art model available for one or two more artists

Cambridge MA

Description

I have had a lot of luck with Craigslist so figured this may be the best place to post. I'm mostly retired but have been an art model in academic and private settings for over a decade. I now have an entirely unrelated job. I'm vaxxed thanks to alluded to other job for months now and am staying safe as possible. General availability, M-F afternoon/eve (most days I'm done by 3 PM in Cambridge). Recent selfies to prove I am me and show that I do in fact have long hair now. I have a trio of artists I pose for locally that I have known for 7 years or so, it would be nice to find another artist or two to work with. Or else, this post will go rot in the void. Draw my portrait while sitting on the river? Draw a live person in your studio for the first time in ages? Do some hand studies? Let me know what you feel like creating. I'm game for anything between "I'm an animator and need 3 hours of 30 second poses" [with breaks for both of us] and "I want to do a hyperrealistic portrait that will probably take 50 hours". For NON-PHOTOGRAPHIC sessions I quote $100 for 3 hour session. (I could write a dissertation on how the existence of the San Francisco/ Bay Area art model guilds have made $30/hr a jaw droppingly low rate there and in NYC and Boston 20/hr is appropriate if not excessive and how my former agent of sorts used to make 2.5X minimum wage in the 70's working as an art model at art schools but I guess if the all caps and my unpunctuated run on sentence didn't scare you off we might get along, hey?) Happy creating :)
