Currently in production, let me introduce the artistic crew of my White Geisha Shoot. As #1 of my Artist Series, I am excited to have my team ready to roll.
Admittedly not an illustration artist [as seen by the drawing], I still love working with peeps more gifted than I, and artistic detail is the inspiration for these ongoing collaborations.

Model 
I was representing a media outlet for The Gladstone's Come Up To My Room 2010. While there, I met my artists of Room 211! They will be designing the set.
This quartet’s room treads the fine line between fact and fiction, science and art, confusion and creativity, and breakthroughs and breakdowns. Through cross-disciplinary techniques, the work is simultaneously technical and accurate, naive and romantic, and speaks to a renewed wonder in the world and the things that surround us, what we with to surround us.
Keophila’s current practice includes embroidery, cutwork, illustration and papercutting. Her themes vary from relationships, communication, identity and Canadiana but always centre around control, repetition and creative manipulation.
F. Lim Tung received a Master of Architecture from the University of Toronto. She teaches architecture, and has received several awards for her work which deals largely with contemporary considerations of traditional types, small spaces, and craft techniques.
K. Lim Tung’s work has been widely exhibited and published, and is sold internationally. Her work focuses on the play between the familiar and the whimsical and expresses a nostalgic connection to material culture.
Margono received his graphic design degree in 2007. He currently works as a freelance graphic designer, with recent clients including Underline Studio and his Mom’s church friends. He is a practicing bureaucrat by day and illustrator by night.

I met the owner of Chatpeaux, Sarah Blostein, on a cruise while shooting the band Courtney Wells.
An amazing looker of an artist, she runs her company while coordinating shoots of her own, and her Chatpeaux products have been sold at the Knit Gallery on Queen St West, Y5 Boutique in Yorkville, Speakeasy at the Gladstone, Toronto Jazz Festival, Nuit Blanche Designer's Market, The Tranzac Artisans Gift Market, and from home through custom orders.

Joshua Shier
Raised on a steady diet of Rocky Horror, Shirley Temple, the Spice Girls and Italian Vogue, it is no surprise that Joshua Shier may sometimes have a weak spot for a sequin - or two! With an extreme passion for the absolutely absurd and inappropriate, musical theatre and the layers in a Pollock piece, he tries to surround himself with a flurry of kaleidoscopic inspiration. Currently working as a writer and model coach extraordinaire for IMAGOzine and the fashion editor of PIE Magazine, he contributes on a regular basis to magazines in print and online. Whether it's formerly styling the fantastic Nadja Sayej, host of Toronto’s revolutionary TMZ-for-the art-scene show, rtStars*, as he did from July to November 2009, the stars on the Toronto International Film Festival red carpet, or a deliciously intimate editorial, his fervor for fashion will always prevail. Also the co-founder/designer of youth.inAsia, an upcoming fashion label in Toronto, as well as launching his own line of sunglasses soon, his knowledge of fashion ranges from the basics of sewing, to the politics of fashion week itself. As a freelance stylist, writer and designer - with the emphasis on "free" - his work will inspire and entice. With dreams of becoming a fashion editor at British Vogue, and showing on the runways of New York and Paris, he is raring and ready to tear through whatever the fashion world has to offer.
