Model Matters: Q&A with Life Model... Mark

Find out how this weeks article ended up with our life model on a space hopper naked!
How did you start life modelling?
Something I kind of fell into I guess, I  live just outside Newcastle which has to be one of the greatest Hen or Stag cities in Europe. It also has a lot of art groups who also need people to draw, so there's loads of demand but not many guys willing to get naked. I've always been comfortable with nudity, my mates tease me a little (a lot!i) but over the years it's just become a way to spend a Saturday afternoon! I've modelled for Hen and Stag groups plus all sorts of sculptors, photographers and designers. 
Why do you enjoy it?
It's always amazing to see what gets created, especially from a larger group where everyone has a different view point of me. I model for both very experienced and beginner groups and they're equally as enjoyable. Apart from "drawing" modelling I also enjoy photography modelling, mostly arty outside shoots usually with a dose of nudity involved too. 
Funniest experience?
Life models will tell you that there is no end of funny stories and amazing people you face. I posed with a Hen on space hoppers once in the garden of a stunning cottage they were staying at, obviously that ended up with me having to space hopper around the garden naked! Just about every group has a laugh about something that's the best part of being there seeing them enjoy themselves.
