While I was showing my work at the Texas Renaissance Festival in the 90s, I met the lovely Brandi, a dancer at the nearby belly dancer costume emporium. She helped me by posing for everything from mermaids to faeries to, well, other dancers, but never had her own face appear in any of those images. As a way of saying thanks, I asked her to select one photo in which she was happiest with her look, and I would do a portrait of her. I think the smouldering gaze shown here in the Dark Dancer captures perfectly why, whenever I was shooting photos of her in my shop, a crowd would gather to watch her pose. Thanks for all your help and patience, Brandi, and there are still more images to come from all those photo sessions!
This is a limited-edition print, each copy signed & numbered by the artist. It is created from a film negative made directly from the original pen and ink artwork, then retouched by the artist, and printed by offset lithography on Cougar Opaque 65# paper stock. Mounting and matting materials are either low-acid or acid-free. To maintain the quality of this work, do not display it where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, or to extremes of temperature or humidity. I also recommend that you look at it once it is up on your wall (at least six times a week is considered the minimum), or else it will get sad and lonely, and the tear-stains will make it look less attractive.
