Over a decade ago I moved my artistic focus from illustration and mixed media work to photography, and since then I've had a number of great experiences both professionally and personally because of my desire to pursue photography as a career. I am proud to announce that this journey has brought me to this crossroads today and the announcement that, along with partners Robert Henry and Jennifer Marks, we are opening a professional photography studio, located in Oklahoma City.

At Sight Key Studios, we are dedicated to bring the same creativity and attention to detail to our commercial and portrait work as we have to our own art projects and endeavors like Toxic Goddess. We are excited to offer our own unique style of photography to Oklahoma.

We invite you to visit our website (www.sightkey.com) or to drop by our studio at 3630 NW 50th Street in Oklahoma City.

I just recently returned from my exhibition at Fetish Project in Brussels, Belgium. I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to Mistress Salem and Bosk for inviting me to display my work at the show. As the first American to be featured at Fetish Project, it was a distinct honor and one hell of an opportunity to introduce my work to a whole new audience and make some incredible connections.

I don't know how many people who read this ever visits Europe, but if you're in the mood for a party, I can assure you that you that Fetish Project is second to none! I've never in my life seen so many beautiful people in so many sexy outfits in one place, ever! For someone who lives in an extremely conservative state, this party was an amazing breath of fresh air! If you're into BDSM or fetish fashion, Fetish Project will blow your mind. I mean seriously, how many hot fetish models and sexy dominatrix can you stuff in one place? Fetish Project will answer that question for you.

I'd like to give a shout out to DJ Khimara from Japan, who rocked the place all night long (and I seriously mean until the break of dawn) and to Italian fetish photographer Michele Marchese, who also had work on display, and hung out with me at the event. I'd also like to say hello to Mistress Lilith from France and Mistress Brigitte from Norway who were both lovely and fascinating.

On a personal note, I'd like to say that I was extremely impressed with Brussels. As the capital of the European Union and the headquarters for NATO, Brussels is an endlessly engaging city with a true international vibe. I was impressed and thankful of the warm and generous nature of everyone I met there.

Both personally and professionally, my trip to Brussels was an extraordinary success.

I've listed a few links to the event and people I mentioned below. You may have to copy them and paste them in your browser because MySpace has some censorship issues.
