This week… we’re doing something a little different. This week, Andy is the guest, because Andy was the model for a life drawing session in Pasadena, CA where he was joined by five talented multimedia artists sketching, painting and watercoloring Andy in his birthday suit.

Those artists are:

Carrie Chen (they/she)

Shirley Huang (she/her)

Gabriel Ortiz (he/him)

Lawrence Lee (he/him)

Danny Rios (he/him)

& the host of Pasadena Life Drawing, Michael Olivares (he/him)!

After Andy made his nude modeling debut, Andy sat down for separate conversations with Carrie, Shirley and Michael for a conversation about being present, the creative headspace and necessary chaos.

PLUS!

-why did modeling bring Andy closer to his child self?

-could the artists tell when Andy was uncomfortable?

-what color and vibe was Andy giving off? (it wasn’t green!)

-which poses hurt? What was Andy thinking about while in the poses?

-how is modeling a mindfulness practice?

-the always additive magic and power of creativity

-how Shirley predicted this entire episode
