I have adults in my display photos/book... with adult type designs (masks, eye designs that run down the neck, arm art). I paint quite a few adults when doing birthday parties and small public events where I don't have to worry about age parameters.
Often for my larger events we set age limits... like "12 and under" as otherwise I would be overrun with teens and drunk adults. As far as approaching adult only gigs... I've talked to some clubs etc but haven't pushed it. We have a couple of large events here - a President's Ball for the college that is usually formal. You've inspired me to pitch to them!! They like added value features as it is a fundraising event - I'm going to get some adults in to paint, dress them up formally, and take studio photos... to show what can be offered for adults. Thanks for the kick in the butt!!!
