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.

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