"Melodie's imagination is matched by her wonderfully creative costumes and beautiful makeup design. Her enthusiasm in the work and her creative ideas makes it a joy for me to collaborate with her on the images I create."
>> Tiny Dragon Productions
"When Melodie dons a costume, she becomes the character wholely. I enjoy every chance I get to work with her. She helps me get to where I want with the shots. I'm allways interested to see what she'll do next."
>> Jake Davis, Photographer
"If you are privileged with the opportunity to work with her - do so! Your project will be the better for it. Melodie will bring your vision to life - body and soul."
>> Lisa, Battledress Paint and Body
"Melodie is a star in the best sense of the word. Everything she does creatively is infused with her totally interesting point of view on the world. There's nobody like her. I love working with her. Definitely check out her music in addition to all the
other amazing things she does."

>> Eddie Chacon, Songwriter / Music Producer


I am a visual artist and model based in the Los Angeles area. My professional work focuses on creating erotic fantasy characters mainly through costume and makeup. I am heavily influenced by Japanese traditional and pop culture, especially Anime and J-Rock. I have the most fun shooting as an Anime character or doing gruesome effects makeup.

I have a Journeyman's degree from the Make-Up Designory in Burbank, CA and I've attended school at the Art Institute of Philadelphia and Savannah College of Art and Design. I'm currently living in Los Angeles but my experience and network spans LA, New York, Philadelphia, and Savannah.

My portfolio consists of collaborations with photographers, makeup artists, designers, and many other artists.
