Randi23

Richard Ian Thornapple, 66. I've been working since age 11, and as a professional (commercial) artist since age 17 (my arts education started at age 5 so I was very ready to get to it). I now own several online retail outlets, a gallery and for the last 3 years I've been have a blast working part time as a nude model in the adult entertainment industry. In 2011 ( after many years in preparation & study) I began working on a feature length art genre sensuo-erotic animated film. As a visual artist my forte is erotic art & although I was originally trained to draw and paint in the traditional (old school) manner and I still love to work in oils and acrylics. Nevertheless human progress basically means forward motion so I put away my brushes and I finally went back to school and trained as a digital designer, media artist and filmmaker. YES! The is what I needed to be all along and this is what I am all about now (as far as work goes). I love to be able to spend the day in bed *which is where I do most of my editing and computer work) AND making a living. YES! It beats the bejesus out of that messy, toxic, snooty, old school stuff, and takes a fraction of the hours / months, from concept to finish. So ya'll, compared to a few years ago, I have plenty of time to play. So, as long as you don't mind my sharing my passions with you introduce yourself and lets chat. To be completely honest I am on a search for a soul brother/ muse / lover / confidant / fav model / biz partner. But in a pinch one (or a few) interesting night/s out (or in, at my place) might be what the shaman ordered. Randi ( Ian ) ps: btw: Yep, I did finally go to college while managing my studio (at age 25) and went on to spend the next 15 years in one or the other Art school. Sorry if I i sound like a bragging arse. I rarely share this information but the mood just dawned on me while writing/filling out this profile. I do have other interests however what I've written herein is my life's blood and passion so pardone por favor, in you aren't into this scene.
