Joshua Myles Ristaino is an ambitious hair and make-up artist who loves doing both equally — one is his medium for painting and the other is his medium for sculpting. A chance encounter with renowned make-up artist, Kevin Aucoin, is what sparked his passion for this form of art. Myles graduated from the Aveda Institute in NY and his sense of flair and avant garde has been seen on the runways during Fashion Weeks in London, New York, Miami, and Sau Paulo.
Myles is our other Featured Artist in Fasion this week! We love his work and hope you do, too. Check it out on Talenthouse at http://www.talenthouse.com/mylesristaino

Ninette Murk, founder of Designers Against AIDS, teamed up with us at Talenthouse in search of fresh and innovative designs to help with their main objective — to raise awareness of the fight against AIDS in the international media and towards young people in the industrialized countries using elements from pop culture.
Ninette and her team reached out to our artist community, asking them to submit their artwork or photos revolving around the idea of bringing back the sexiness of safe sex. The winning pieces are to be used in future DAA campaigns and there were 4 winners chosen!
Nick Lovell is a Los Angeles based photographer who entered this competition with a clear vision: “When I heard that DAA was having a contest with the goal of making safe sex sexy, I jumped at the opportunity. Several years ago, someone surprised me by saying “no one dies of AIDS anymore.”
Rayner Seah is a graduate student in Marketing & Communications and lives in Singapore. To raise HIV/AIDS awareness he created this strong collage of notable artists who had two things in common: AIDS & talent.
