Huge thanks to Aida Santizo | Oregon Photographer, Lindy Paris, and David A Bliss for shooting this concept and making my vision come to life! Also huge thank you to Kayla Rodriguez for letting me borrow some amazing props to bring it all together! And lastly thank you to Jennie Ryder for painting the demon hands on Rose, and of course to Rose for being my devil entity ❤️

Tomorrow is my first Mother’s day and I am so incredibly excited! Here’s a rare Onyx post from when he was so tiny, at the cherry blossoms early this spring. I think he was a month old here 🥹🖤🌸

Miss Udder Sweetheart 💖 Today was the first day of and sadly with having a new baby and also having some work come up, im not there. The makeup competition didn’t happen this year but im hoping it comes back. So in honor of missing one of my favorite events of the year, i’d like to finally show off my winning look from last year’s competition! I worked so incredibly hard on putting this look together and im so glad my efforts paid off! I made the nose and udder prosthetics 100% myself all the way from sculpting to the final product. So naturally we had to do a shoot in the hotel room which of course included a milk bath! Look out Crypticon, and i will be back next year along with a 1 year old to get weird and spooky!

Say hello to BabyFX, Onyx! Born nearly a whole month early on Friday the 13th of February!

So with being in postpartum recovery and adjusting to the newborn life, I most likely will not be taking on gigs until mid to late April, possibly early May.

Additionally, as cute as he is, don’t expect much baby content on here, Unless i have you added to my close friends stories. Ultimately this is my business/ art page and though i do occasionally post my personal life, im looking to keep it the same content as usual. Plus im not wanting my baby out on the internet for just anyone to see.

In the meantime while im not working, if you would like to support my little family here’s what you can do,
