Modeling scams

Hello again.

Ok so I'm going to continue introducing myself a bit.
Now I want to explain, briefly, my modeling experience.

  1. I wanted to be a model
  2. Went to live in Tokyo to pursue it
  3. Immigration problems
  4. Back to ground zero
  5. College to prevent anymore problems and serve as plan B

Male modeling isn't actually as competitive or harsh as female modeling, but it also isn't as easy to find work in. And oh my god the scammers I have encountered. I have yet to encounter a legitimate modeling agency (not counting the ones in Japan) that didn't mark me as a sucker.

My most recent incident, I was told my pictures weren't quality pictures, and for only $800 I could make a better portfolio. These are the “bad quality pictures” she mentioned:



As you can see, these photos are indeed horrible quality...
I almost reached over the desk and strangled the con-woman with my bare hands, but I left before I had the chance. Though I did manage to steal a pen from her office.

While modeling can be rewarding though, my real passion is acting and singing. I LOVE to perform. It's just a lot harder to get into.

If anyone has any questions about modeling, I'd be more than happy to answer them for you.

Till next time.

Face the Game

Why, Hello there! Thanks for reading!

Let me introduce myself first off.

My name is Kai and I am currently a college student majoring in video game art and design. Pretty sweet right?
I am also pursuing a career in modeling and acting (my real passion) and am hoping to accomplish that one day.

The name of my blog, eh? Well it's kind of a double meaning, play-on-words type of deal. I plan to write about my student perspective and share what I can about video games and other art forms (Game) while also pursuing the more shallow side of the pool with modeling, acting, et cetera (Face). And there's also the fact that I will probably be the face behind a game asset someday, so as you see I am very clever for someone who is coming up with all this at 3 AM.

This is my starter blog, so let me post some artwork to end it and you guys can get the gist of it.





So you see, this is what I do in school. Video games are my life!

Till next time.

You can follow me on twitter too!
