Wow.. new york was quite a trip. Got 2 lovely models painted with Bobby Friedel in his studio saturday evening. One was a reptile / gecko type of design and the second was a leopard. These are to add to the Zebra that bobby and i did just under a year ago. We're hoping to have a whole beautiful animal series eventually. We went more for a fashion look than an animal look. no contact lenses, no animal noses and instead all the models have very striking lipstick instead of more realistic looking animal mouth painted on.

At the make up show on saturday with Cosmix school of make up artistry after a little bit of confusion with our model situation we got it all worked out. I painted one body and a few faces. The theme for this body paint was kind of a tribute to all the cute, girly things in the 80s; lisa frank, hearts, rainbows, etc. on the lovely Bella:




Monday painted another couple of faces. Then had more model issues but a friend of a friend came to the rescue and got downto her skivies for the sake of body art! Thanks Shaunie :) So I painted her in blues,greens and golds and got a chance to use my peacock headdress that I made! i'm pretty happy with the results.


There's a photo album on my facebook page and when I get the better quality photos they will be posted on the website.

This week is more prep for more paintings!!
