Carla Tofano has written this about her experience of life modelling What it's like to be an artists' model (in Spanish!) Thanks Carla!

Susie Mason of   The Register of Artists' Models is doing really well since starting a new career via RAM ! Her latest report: My portrait called "The Ageing Dancer" has been chosen to be in the window, at the Alpha Gallery, 23 Cork Street, £7,500 just in time for Christmas shoppers as is behind Bond Street.  It is also featured in European newspapers and magazines and the artist Michele Del Campo will speak on Spanish TV.  I have told him about Modelreg being a great place to look for new models when he needs for a future project. Usually he chooses models by spotting them in the shopping centres, on the beach etc etc (!) but its always good to have a new contact.

Well done Lydia Spearink. Watch Lydia model when this screens on Jan 25 1012! THE RETREAT ON CHANNEL 4S CELEBRITY COACH TRIP 25TH JANUARY 17:00 tHE   What an amazing day we had! John had the pleasure of conducting a life-drawing class for a range of British celebrities. The Retreat had been invited to hold a surprise life-drawing session for contestants of Channel 4?s  Celebrity Coachtrip. Filmed at Senigallia's Palazzo Baviera, John taught a traditional life-drawing class with the  help of 'Retreat' model Lydia. The day was  light- hearted and full of humour which led to many of the guests promising to return to The Retreat for extra classes in the future. Amongst the participants were Paul Burrell, Canon&Ball, East Enders' Nick Cotton and a host of other celebrities. So why not look out for Channel 4's new series of Celebrity Coach Trip in the new year, to see John and our celebs in action.  Th...

A model who was expelled from RAM many years ago is up to his old tricks. We've had complaints from adult education centres and colleges. He phones implying that he's seen an ad somewhere for models (which doesn't exist) or that the you have called him looking for a model (you haven't!). If he knows it he usually drops the name of someone in reception/office in the "conversation". eg "Ann phoned me to say you're looking for a life model ". He also often mentions RAM's name - or the name of Vic Stevens or Rachel McCarthy (2 people who help run RAM ). He goes under various aliases, including Peter or John Shilling, Whiteshilling, Myatt, Wyatt or White. He lives in Romford, but travels all over London and greater London.

Just a thought from Sarah King ( RAM model). I enjoy being able to pick up artists tips on how to draw 'me'!!!!! Learning whilst earning!

What can I say .  Watch out for   a;draughts , b; tutors who are easily confused and forget to book you or forget they have booked you, c;students who expect to see only female models ,  d;easels can be very dangerous if placed too close  and finally heaters that switch themselves off when they think the room is warm enough!

I'd like to tell you what happened when I was practising and preparing poses. Several photos were taken and reviewed over several days. Suddenly I noticed 'an orb' to my right. Strange to have missed it before as it is so prominant. Six of the many photos taken that day, were found to have orbs of some description, but many did not. The first one that was noticed was the one that was sent to the RAM listing.  I had heard of these orbs but had no experience or knowledge. Naturally an investigation was started and I now believe, (there is, at present, nothing conclusive,) that these are balls of energy of some sort, which absorb flashlight and expel it at a reduced wavelength. The digital camera, being an electronic recording device, can pick up 'near infra-red' light. Experiments have shown these orbs to be consiousnesses of some sort; could be beings, thought forms, nature spirits etc. I have had fun directing my camera up into the da...
