Male Art Model Poses Biography
I was born in Pella, Iowa, April 21, 1954. My Grandfather immigrated from Holland. I’m hoping that I inherited some of the talent of the famous Dutch artists. I went to college at Truman State University and graduated in 1976 with a business degree. I worked in the corporate world from 1976 to 1998. In March 1998, I left the corporate world to become a self employed graphic designer and nurture the right side of my brain.I have been doing some form of art as long as I can remember. My first expression of art (post coloring books) was photography and it remains the one consistent expression of my art. In high school, I took a year of art that touched on a variety of mediums from carving wood to oil painting. Oil painting was the one that caught my interest and until I graduated from college, I would occasionally do a painting.
The most frequent subject of my art is nature. I grew up on a farm and consequently my formative years were in the midst of nature . . . from insects to animals to plants. I am ever attracted to the beauty and wonder of nature.I believe the human body is beautiful and a wondrous vessel for our spirit. One of my goals during this life is to alter people’s perspective of the naked human body . . . that a naked (au naturel) body is a vision of beauty, no matter what size or shape or color or age or gender.
I don’t understand how people can get so upset about seeing a woman’s breast or a man’s penis and watch TV shows and movies that have such extreme violence. Given the choice of seeing violence or nudity, I’ll choose nudity. We all have bodies . . . why should the naked body not be a part of our art?
In 2006 I started working as a life drawing model. I had turned 50 and was looking for something to challenge me . . . posing nude in front of a group of strangers was something I wasn’t comfortable doing. Now, several years later, I’m still modeling and when colleges are in session, I pose 20 to 40 hours a week.
Besides being drawn or painted by hundreds of artists, some of my art model career highlights are:

In April 2007 I started going to night school to become a licensed massage therapist. In August 2008 I graduated and in December 2008 I passed the test to become certified in Missouri. Since then I have been giving massages when I’m not modeling.I started to draw the human figure the summer of 2009. I’d always wanted to draw, but never felt I had the skills to be very good at it. After modeling an average of 20 hours a week for life drawing classes for 4 years, I absorbed a lot from listening to a variety of teachers. So, I decided to give it a try and dove in. Now almost 3 years later, I’m starting to find some sense of accomplishment in my drawings. I tend to like abstract art more than realism. Part of this may be because I’m a photographer and if I want to do realistic art I’ll take a picture.
I know my art will not be liked by everyone – if it was, I’d not be doing my true art.While no book can replace a live model, this photographic guide to the human form provides an array of figures for those who do not have access to live models. The latest in the series, this guide features two new models and an entirely new collection of photographs. Posed in a variety of classical and modern positions, the models appear in a clear, clean environment that is void of distractions and enhances the figure. All of the high-resolution photographs were painstakingly edited and adjusted to yield all the nuances of the figures. The PC- and Mac-compatible companion CD-ROM contains 24 photographs per pose that, in total, comprise a full 360-degree view. Each angle of every pose can be enlarged, enabling artists to zoom in on specific body parts to discover their intricate detail or project the photos to lifelike proportions. The CD also offers the flexibility of numerous viewing options—on a computer screen, printed out, projected for a group, or via a high-definition television when connected through a computer."My very first impression when I received this book was that the lighting - which is of major importance to me - was exquisitely arranged. I use shadows a lot to help me define form and volume. I have seen other model books and have been most disappointed with the lighting. Great care has been given to this aspect in Art Models 3, just as if I'd arranged the lighting myself, and it is almost as if the model is standing in the studio with me! There are over 60 poses, some are represented in this book, but there is an accompanying CD with a full range of 360 degree shots of each pose, 24 views of each, and 2 different angles. You can watch them in a slide show if you like a moving target! At the front of the book there is a small shot of all poses for easy reference. A wide variety of models will inspire all figure artists... male & female, slim & fuller figured, couples.....even shots of a pregnant model, very tastefully and sensitively photographed. Seated, standing, active poses and reclining.... they're all here. Artists who just want to practice and hone their drawing skills will find this book extremely valuable. There are poses to suit fantasy artists, or those who design Manga perhaps. For me, many of the poses and angles appealed and inspired and I will be referencing this book for some new paintings. The book comes with a solid cover, is beautifully bound and already has a place in my studio! I can't wait to begin painting! " (Pauline Adair, Professional Figure Artist) "This fantastic series of books continues! The models (both male and female) strike elegant poses in the classical tradition. The model choices reflect diverse ages, ethnicity, and somatypes. Models are posed on a revolving platform, and the the interactive CD allows the user to position the model in the precise the angle desired. The user may also close in or push back to any desired vantage point. Clearly a labor of love, the Art Models books proudly continue in modern spirit the pioneering work of photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Artists devoted to drawing the human form will find this invaluable and inspiring series of books (and particularly the companion CDs) modern "must-have "photo reference classics!" (B. Blakeslee, Artist) "It is also an excellent book for art departments. In the era of tight budgets and the clear need for more variety in the subjects, using it can create the necessary variety without severely damaging the department budget.Seneca is a Seattle-based interdisciplinary cabaret performance artist and figure model. He regularly performs, produces, and tours nationally and internationally.
A natural-born mover, trained actor and dancer, with an eye for the compelling, Seneca excels as a muse in the studios of visual artists, animators, directors, and photographers.
His goal as a figure model is to enable creativity to flow freely and to act as an armature to allow other artists to accomplish their visions.. He holds a strong belief that art brings social consciousness.
Seneca's goal as a performance artist is to present inspirational showcases that are designed to celebrate the thrilling highs and questionable lows of the kooky world we live in. have worked with Seneca numerous times, and he has always been extremely professional, self-directed, and pleasant to work with. Because he is a dancer, Seneca has great focus and control. He's well-defined and great to draw, both for fluid gestures and sustained poses; I recommend Seneca very highly!"Julie Gaskill, Artist and Instructor at Cornish College of the Arts Seneca has been one of the most popular models for my classes over the last several years. His poses are dynamic, fluid and always interesting yet he is able to hold them without moving. His clear muscle definition and skeletal landmarks help students achieve some of their best work." Alecia Rossano, Artist and Instructor at Digipen Institute of Technology.
"Seneca's skill as an art model is consistently well-rounded, however, he is known for his gestural poses which is the most demanding, physically and mentally, in the oeuvre of an art model. He has an innate and consistent sense of timing for short poses, an intuitive sense of what his body can handle in a given amount of time and elegance in his longer poses.
