The 2022 Tour

The last tour was in 2019, prior to the Pandemic. 

It feels like just yesterday I was driving up the West Coast, beginning the Tarot series, and painting some pretty cool people along the way. I'm in the beginning stages of planning my next Tour, which is important for me reach new audiences. 

The last time I did this, I focused on private sessions. This time I'd like to open things up myself up to other opportunities and experiences. I'd love to be included in Galleries, paint live in Bars, or find myself creating art in a park. Plus you've noticed I've started to paint in stores more. Maybe we can manifest some of that? Want me to teach a Paint & Sip? You've got it! Happy to discuss my rates, but open to the occasional trades if adequate lodging is provided.

Question: Where will you be going?
Answer: From Phoenix, I'll be making my way to San Diego. Once I'm settled there, I will drive up the West Coast, painting in California, Oregon, and Washington. I'm flexible on the time frame, depending on how many people book. Most of my support is on the West Coast, so I'm hoping to strengthen this!

When I'm ready to head back south, I'll paint my way through Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and, Colorado. That will likely be my next resting spot, before I make my way through New Mexico and Texas. I can't tell you how many times people have requested I come to Texas! Get ready to plan those parties! ;-)

From there, I'm hoping to make my way through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, with another rest in Florida. This is another state that I've had requests to come to, so maybe I'll paint a handful of people there? Should things continue to go well, I'd love to make my way up the East Coast. My dearly departed friend Michael Eiger lived in New Jersey, so I'd like to see a fraction of his life, even if he's no longer here to share it.

Question: What kind of artwork will you be doing?
Answer: Because I'll be on the road, I will be focusing on artwork that doesn't require a lot of props or complicated prosthetics. That being said, I'll bring some pretty fun lighting tech and a portal backdrop, so we're mostly limited by our imagination!

Question: Can I use my Patreon credit for a session?
Answer: Yes absolutely! You're supporting me on here after all. Plus you will finally get to meet the artist! (Did you know some tiers come with free session credits?) If you'd like to book additional sessions to support me, that's totally swell too!

Question:  Are there other ways you are supporting the Tour?
Answer: There are a few ideas I'm currently considering. For example, if I'm certain I'll be scheduling models on tour, I could arrange sponsorship opportunities. There is also the potential for new merch to support this. 

I've also seriously considered making an OF, which I have mixed feelings about. Lots of people have requested it, but I don't know if the profit is worth it for me. ;p

Documenting the wilder parts of the Tour through that medium could be interesting, though I also have the capability of running a subscription service on my website! What I'm trying to say is Patreon isn't really the place for certain kinds of content.

Question: Will you post photos/video of the Tour?
Answer: Absolutely! I'm going to document everything because I'll be seeing places I've never been to before, and meeting all sorts of incredible humans. Maybe that human is you? 

Warmest Regards,

Brandon
