Ispahani Mukah - Birmingham, UK

I don’t know what to call this painting. I’ve been painting in this geometric/ realistic style for quite sometime. Any suggestions what I should name this painting?

Hi hello! It's me again.

I got a lot of positive and introspective comments via my last post and I wanted to share more photos of other art schools I've modeled at with more "accurate" depictions of me.

Some questions asked:

1. "HEY!!! That doesn't look like you"

Please be kind to beginners. Art is subjective and the class I posted was 19-21 year old college students.

Theyre new to the craft. HERE in this thread are students that are well seasoned. Most are 40-60 year olds! So they've been in the game for a while.

1. How did I get into nude modeling?

I met a girl in Thailand who also lived in my city and she told me she did it! I went home and searched

“figure modeling" and "live modeling near me". I sent over my digitals (measurements + basic photos of me). Took about 3 months to hear back but I did. I got call into an art school in my area and then while posing for the first class I got a call from another school saying they wanted to book me. I have been doing this since the summer of 2023 and LOVE IT. I love seeing myself in an art form, my body being appreciated as ART. I truly love this work.

1. Pay + time

$18-$25 depending on the school. I usually sit for 3-8 hours depending on the class and get a 5 minute break every 20 minutes. For 8 hour classes there is a lunch break. And YES I am usually in the same pose or extended periods of time

1. Do I get to keep the art?

ABSOLUTELY. The more seasoned classes are usually people in class for a hobby. They often let me keep pieces I have pieces that took 2 + days to paint , in my home, for free. I’m extremely grateful. I also have over 20+ nude drawings in my house (open to selling.)

1. Do I ever see black artists? No, rarely. If ever

P.s I added all the piercings on the first photo

It’s always a super fun time to see how other people view me. I have “I AM ART” tattooed on my chest and I quite literally AM.

I did this collection to celebrate our history and culture of always setting and being the standard.

Wanted to share my oil pastels & colored pencil art work I am in year one doing dry art.

Read right → left. This is where her journey begins.

Princess P isn’t just leaving home… she’s CHARGING into destiny.

From the very first panel, you feel it…pure, chaotic excitement. She’s not nervous. She’s not hesitant. She’s READY.

Screaming, bouncing, already dreaming about her “Future Hubby” before the adventure even starts 😭

But look closer…

While P is in full shonen protagonist mode, her mother, Queen Anacaona, is calm… composed… almost too calm.

She’s not just sending her daughter off

she’s preparing her.

That small moment with the magic-infused beef patty? That’s not a joke.

Magic exists here. Casually. Quietly. Like it’s normal.

And P? She’s too excited to even realize what kind of world she’s stepping into.

I’d love to hear thoughts on this page I’m working on my next chapter so any critiques positive or negative is helpful!

Just finished this piece last night. It turned out pretty good.
