Q: How did you get started as a fantasy model and what advice can you give those who might want to get into the business?

A: I got started by meeting the artists. I was working at this Japanese Music Company and I thought that fantasy illustration would be great for some of the album covers. I was able to contact my favorite artist Boris Vallejo for a possible cover deal. Well the deal didn't happen however, me always wanting to be an action figure I think my look took on these characteristics that appealed to Boris. I almost fell over when he asked me to model for him. Once I saw the first painting I went crazy and wanted to more and more. Once I had enough work under my belt I began to contact other illustrators and my work now is really picking up. I hope to work modeling for the gaming industry soon. It is not the easiest thing to get into. You have to go to conventions and meet illustrators pass out your photos and hope if they use live models they will test you. And then it's word of mouth. Artist recommend me to others. It took me a while to find the studios for Romance work. You have to meet the artists and get them to use you and it seems to domino from there.

Q: You were at one time a KISS employee, who is your favorite band member and can you give us the name of your favorite album?

A: I will always have a special place in my heart for Paul Stanley. He will always be my favorite rock star that I looked up to. I love the first album and Rock and Roll over the best.

Q: You have an upcoming role with DC comics, as "the new evil nemesis" of Superman.Please give us some insight into that role and who will be doing the artwork.

A: I was cast in the part by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt. They are doing all the artwork for the graphic novel. I never got to read the whole story, but she is a real evil bitch. She is an ice queen with kryptonite in her blood and likes to freeze things. She is very strong and kicks the shit out of everyone including Superman. The artwork is truly amazing. The brothers Hildebrandt do so much with comic art. It is so exciting and jumps off the page at you.

Q: You appeared on the cover of Heavy Metal, were you asked to model for the upcoming movie Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2?

I will however be doing another feature for the magazine to come out in early summer. It will be jammed packed with unique photos and outrageous illustrations.

Q: You once said you would like to do some acting,any plans in the near future? And what type of role would you like to do?

A: I hope to break into acting this year. I have always been in productions since I was young, yet I chose to make a name for myself in this format in hope of getting in the unconventional way. I want to play action roles first. La Femme Nakita, Bond Girl, and I would kill to play the lead in the Witchblade comic coming to life on TNT this year.

Q: Along with modeling for fantasy artists Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo,have you modeled for other artists or magazines?

A: This was my first time with Greg and Tim Hildebrandt and can't wait to work with them again. They will work on my Heavy Metal piece that is coming and will most likely do the cover. In Romance I work with Pino the to in the industry and also and amazing team of Cherif Fortin and Lynn Sanders who write and illustrate their books. The do the most amazing artwork. They do 30-40 paintings for each book that are breathtaking. I just started shooting for their second book to come out next year. I just signed on to pose for fine art with artist Steve Assal. I am working with Sci-fi new comer Jaques Breedy on a great new character also to appear in Heavy Metal. I will be doing a Variant cover for the Crismon comic by the Cliffhanger group my master artist Joe Jusko. And I am also working with a brilliant new comer to fantasy art Dorian Cleavenger. I will be doing my original characters with him and he will gain fans fast.

Q: And finally is there anything else you would like to say to your fans and everyone else out there in cyber-space?

A: I would just like to say if you have a dream go for it. I let people hold be back telling me I was crazy and I finally send screw you I am going after what I love. If you really believe in it go for it. And even if you fail at least you can say I gave it everything I had and once I did something. But I truly believe If you believe and work hard you can do anything you want. So that is it. Thanks for asking and including me in your work.
