So let's say that you've just spent your entire Saturday, from 10am to 6pm, posing for over a dozen amazing artists at
Studio 117b just east of LA, and say that you're an amazing little badass named Jin N Tonic, and say it's Saturday night and you look fuckin good dammit, and you happen to be connected with some of the most amazing and talented people in the world.. Do you go home and catch up on your endless emails and continue prepping for your manymanymany Upcoming Travels..?

Yes. Yes you do. Because you are a badass.

But ALSO somewhere in the busy evening you MUST take a break to venture over to Angel City Brewery - basically an adult playground with brews and food trucks and a three story slide and oh yeah, awesome ART - to check out The Opening Exhibit of "Organic Form," an incredible solo exhibit featuring the work of (nadina), as curated by (the very wise) Jerico Woggon and supported by Art Share-LA!

(nadina) with her piece "cucumber" and JNT with her drink "pomegranate cider"

I don't remember exactly how I came across (nadina)'s simple, powerful, delightful work, but when asked at the door I replied, "umm through a friend of a friend on instagram?" Like many amazing people in my life, I don't recall how our online friendship/mutual art-love began, but it's always so wonderful when I get to meet an artist - and their art! - "in the real world" (whatever THAT means).

Hey everyone!!! Jin here with my latest YouTube MASTERPIECE - bringing just a little more behind the scenes look into life as a full-time actor/model/badass. Ever wonder what it's like to pose nude for artists? Well it hurts and it's wonderful.

Take a look at my Top 5 Life Lessons as Learned from Figure Modeling! Posing for artists has taught me so much; about art, about life, about fallen-asleep-limbs, and I love every second of it! 

Huge shoutout to The Model Drawing Collective (<--- click to see upcoming events!) for not only allowing JNT to sit naked and still for their amazing artists, but also for being on board with this amazing video!

Artists can be shy, and awesome, and I love them, and you, to itty bitty pieces. NUdie Hugs, ​Jin PS Be sure to follow all the fun on instagram! -------------------------------------->

As many of you may know, I spend a good amount of my time Holding Very Still For Strangers. aka figure modeling for various art groups (mostly) in Los Angeles! As I've been taking some time off from travel during this Holiday aka Festively-Plump-Jin Season, I've had the pleasure of posing my little butt off at least three times a week at different groups all over this Damn City. It's a blast! 

one of the rare clothed moments, sharing the stage with your typical Hollywood babe. If you think I look good here (i do) wait til you see the art!

One of my favorite artists here in LA I met two years ago at my first Dr. Sketchy's event, and I have since had the pleasure of posing for the talented pencils of Nikolai Drjuchin on a number of occasions. 

​Go ahead and feel free to pronounce that last name however you'd like to. I do. It's usually something like "Dr. jxkcuchkle." As you can see, there's so much to like about Dr. Jxkcuchkle's unique, colorful, exaggerated, graceful, and edgy style.

#CantTouchThis

Nikolai is a total dear and very committed to his talents. After some.. gentle .. email harassment *cough cough,* he sent me a number of sketches of yours truly from a recent, costumed event. They're all just SO DAMN GOOD that it would be unnecessarily cruel of me to not share ALL of them..

I've been holding on to these particular images for a while now, with plans of eventually releasing them into the online world with some kind of uncomfortably (perhaps) personal story to go along with them. Perhaps a myriad of stories; such as examples from all the moments in my life that have left me feeling this way; the moments that have stayed with me on many sleepless nights, and blindly raging mornings; the moments that I have caused this feeling, and known this, but only in the way a passing stranger might know that your eyes are blue; and all the reasons and events and Why Why Why's that have brought me to this place, over, and over, and over again in my life.

But instead I will just say that, on some days, this is me. 

"Despair"

Halloween is an interesting time of year for those of us that are 1. Not that into candy and 2. Get paid on the daily to dress up and create costumes all year round. Perhaps that is why I kind of took the easy (and non-skanky! weird!) route on my costume for Brooke Mason's swanky ass Halloween party at her beautiful, four story studio in the heart of Hollywood.

JNT with the beautiful host herself, professional and INCREDIBLE photographer, Brooke Mason. Click the pic to follow her on IG!

""Jin N Tonic." What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something." ~ "What makes you think I'm not?" ;)

Plan O.G. 'Come on, Jin! You tooootally have the hips and tits of an 8 year old. You can totes pull this off!'

While my bone-tastic (what?) costume was actually plan B after my first dress up attempt failed (kid's costume turned slutty pink poodle resulted in uncomfortable, hulk-like Poodle Jin. No bueno), I think it's more than fair to say that I rocked it.  Duh.

Click below for more photos of yours truly with some of my favorite new costumed friends, plus the incredible artwork of Brooke Mason, and, of course, my mandatory drankin-in-the-bathroom selfie sesh.

Hoooollleeeeey fuck, have I been busy! And it's been a total blast! After a few weeks of traveling (and of course shooting), I'm back in my HQ in LA and have been busy doing Awesome every day! It's taken me a week but I finally have a new #JNT video update to share, with lots of sneak peak photos from my travels and a look at my crazy-amazing first week back!

I also have TONS of photos I want to share from my recent Friday night as Jordan Bunniie's 'plus one' to the VIP opening of the Hello Kitty exhibit opening at the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) in the Little Tokyo area of downtown. LA.

Can you say *Adorable*?? And I, of course, looked appropriately fantastic ;) Click below to see the photos of my fabulousness and to learn more about the art and artists of this amazing HELLO KITTY event!

Sometimes, when life has become overwhelming and stressful for a few weeks too many (I'm blaming the crazy moon, on top of my equally crazy schedule), you just need to dress up like a Bunny Princess and go get the fuck drunk, ya know?

No reason needed, just because Fuck Yeah.

And dress up like a Bunny Princess I did! I believe the kids and club douchebags would refer to this as "YOLO." For all you fashion curious, there will be deets on my outfit at the end of the post! (Bwahaha!)

Luckily, I actually had an amazing reason to do just that! Introducing an appropriately badass #JNT blog post in celebration of one very special, Art-driven, Booty Shakin', Free Hot Dog-fueled, Dr. Sketchy's event in Hollywood, CA!

Click below for all the [slightly scandalous] photos from this event and to learn more about why you suck for missing it, and how you can join the fun next time (no matter where you are)!

So typically here is where I would put a little intro paragraph about the shoot, followed by the behind the scenes video, and then a bunch of photos taken the day of with lots of "funny" captions and yada yada before FINALLY at the very end of my post revealing the amazing finished photo. This shit's fuckin' fantastic though so I'm just going to post it and you can feel free to click around for all the fun behind the scenes stuff. . . . Or not =) You're welcome!
