Happy November

Halloween is over, phew! what a busy, crazy, exciting month October was!!

November, while still busy, is a bit more steady and predictable. I've got football events, children's parties, tennis events, henna events all on the books for this month and of course will still be painting at Kids night every wednesday from 6- 8 PM at Lucille's Bad to the Bone BBQ in Boynton beach!

Oh!!! addition to the Lucille's kid's night, I will be painting little faces for All About Entertainment at Chick-fil-a's kids night in lauderhill on Tuesday the 9th as well! please come out and have some food and fun with your kids!

FYI www.allaboutentertainmentinc.com is a GREAT place to find top quality performers of all kinds in the south FL area.

More Breast Cancer Awareness PR!

Another great magazine did an article about the BCABPP! check out the work I helped create with Michael D. Colanero , Lucianne Ungerbuehler and a whole lot of amazing survivors!

Halloween update

So its still 10 days away but i'm *almost* totally booked!!

I have only a few spots open on Oct 31st. I'll be set up at SillyFarm in West Broward and taking appointments through my Agent Kristina @ 954-472-5000


YES I can paint you on the 29th but ONLY if we are finished by 5pm
NO I can't squeeze you in on the 30th no matter what, I'm sorry.


I feel so terrible turning people down when they call :( sadly I can only be at one place at one time. All the other artists I know, trust and recommend in the south FL area are also all booked for the 29th and 30th (though a couple do have some time on the 31st too)

Halloween is the biggest weekend of the year for Face and Body paint. Next year call us early and we'll try to fit in as many awesome paintings in as we possibly can!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everybody! Be safe!

Go Dolphins!

The lovely and talented Jipsy aka Nefarious Girl was out at the season opener game last sunday Sept 26th and got an awesome slide show of photos on nbc miami website. She even snapped a shot of me painting!!! I feel like a star ;)

HALLOWEEN BODY PAINTING

It's about that time again when the crazy costume ideas are brewing in everybody's minds... Devils, vampires, skeletons and Na'vi (from avatar) will be all over the place this year! Halloween is on the way!!!

So far I've gotten a few bookings on the 30th but may be able to squeeze in one or two more. Since I ended up driving all over the place last year I have decided to anchor myself in one spot and have an agent book me as many appointments as she can throughout the day!! Less driving MORE PAINTING!!! So if you're in the market to have your body painted for Halloween give Kristina a call and let her know you'd like to book Keegan for October 31. She'll get you set up with scheduling and a quote as soon as possible! (954) 472-5000 extension 221 OR Toll Free: (866) 871-9403 and her email is Kristina@FAB-Events.com

In the off chance that I get booked up fully Kristina is working with several very good body painters so you'll have a good chance there's an artist who can get you all done up even if it's not me :)

art shows & no kids night

Hello bloggy bloggertons,


Just wanted to put a little note out there that my kid's night face paint & balloons is not happening tomorrow (sept 8, 2010) due to the Jewish Holiday.

Also, I'll be painting a body as a live demo at 'The Bubble' in fort lauderdale on Saturday Sept 11. The show starts at 7Pm and there is a $10 cover. I am told for that cover you get "music, art & drinks." The theme is Conspiracy so it should be pretty cool.

the following day Sunday Sept 12, I am painting 2 padies for a burlesque show at Blue Jeans in fort lauderdale :)


as always you can check my facebook page for more frequent updates :)

Kardashian Body Paint update!

Looks like the segment that I and my asstant Melanie painted the lovely sisters for will be airing possbly on the season premiere!?!?! I haven't got word from anybody but that's what it looks like according to the video on E!

I found it first on a blog post about it from examiner.com and from Gather entertainment.. buuuuuut I just found it on the E! website too....

here's a longer clip from E! WOW I look absolutely terrible when I concentrate!! why would they choose THAT angle ew, lol! but at least the girls look lovely :)
Video Clip from E!

New York, New York!

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!!

Excitement!

This week is a busy one! Kids night face painting, a volley ball promo body paint gig for Corona Light 'wide open', a meeting with Academy of Glam, teaching for Cosmix then NEW YORK CITY!!


While I'm there I get to see my best friend Nicole (if anybody is in need of a designer you need her!!! ) check her out at La Sangre Llama . She's going to join me as I reunite with awesome photographerBobby Friedel to paint another couple of models as wild animals! Bobby and i collaborated for the Zebra photo here:


After that I get to work with the Lovely ladies of Cosmix school of makeup artistry for the NY makeup show!! I'll be body painting at their both for both days. We are going to have a blast and probably have some great pictures to post when I get home!

Body paint for the Kardashians!

I just found out we have the permission to post a little bit of info and pictures from the shoot we did a little while back for E!


It was an absolute pleasure to work with them and quite entertaining to see how a reality show films! Thanks to my mom Melanie who assisted me on this paint. We had to pre-cut some stencils for the paint job, paint them on, then cover the background in black to look like "a little black dress" on both Kardashian sister and their models who are also employed at the store in south beach.

sneak peak . me consulting with Nick for the positioning of our lovely models:


here's a link to photographer Nick's website where he posted some some awesome photos and a little description about what we did for those lovely ladies. Nick Saglimbeni's blog with body paint on the Kardashians

I'll keep ya posted when I find out when the the episode showing the whole process airs :)

Getting ready for tomorrow, lonnng all day face painting job with most of my favorite painters in south FL. Last year even a few of the great paintiers in central FL joined us. It's going to be a hard but hopefully fun day of work.
we're all working fir all star events at a children's trust event in Miami. If possibly I'll take a few pictures to post up here & maybe facebook.

Then HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the moms out there :)

have a lovely weekend everyone

Last weekend

Pam and I had the pleasure of painting at Photo Impressions Gallery in Wilton manors this past friday. The monthly Island CIty artwalk was going on so we got together with Richard Viola (gallery owner and photographer) and decided to add a little extra entertainment to it by painting one model each right there in the gallery for people to watch and then did a photo shoot after. We started around 7:30 pm and finished about 3 hours later (pam was a little quicker than me).

here are a couple photos taken with my iphone. I can't wait to see Richard's good qualtity photos! They'll be in my gallery as soon as they are edited.
