Birds in Flight

Miranda and Vilkas are helping me bring to life a body paint project that will also be displayed as a series of photos as well as incorporating some performance pieces. Above is Miranda painted with black birds and also impersonating one ;) Below is a layered image of Miranda w Vilkas that shows what the performance would feel like :)

Fancy Feather Face

Here are a few more Feather Face applications, plus a multi-flower Hair accessory ;)

League of Space Pirates after party for VA Comic Con

This is one of my favorite events. I love L.o.S.P. and they always let me paint and costume everyone however I choose :)

 Adrienne in Leopbird costume with headress of masks and other accessories I put together. Feather face and a few spots too!

 Javon transforming into a robot ;)

 Manna let me do her feathers for the first time. Very exciting :)

Thanks to Jason for letting me paint him ... AGAIN...

Feathered Fun

Many thanks to Brittany for letting me create this Mardi Gras mask inspired design for her to go with a hair accessory I made a few weeks ago ;)

                                        Brittany is a hooper in Richmond. So cute!

Painted accessories for the bare back

I didn't get to finish this one over vacation that day, but it was a fun start ;)

Textural body paint from the beach

I painted this one onto Ryder at the beach, inspired by the texture of the sea oats in his hair. 

G L O W ....

I recently had a gig doing black light reactive paint on party goers at Balliceaux in Richmond, thanks to Steven Ramirez. It was SO MUCH FUN!! Every body was totally into it ;) Taking pics was VERY difficult, but here are my Favorites.

Painted necklace with wristlet !

I almost didn't post this in order to save it for Favorite of the Month. But I like it sooo much I have to share it now :) The wrist isn't a conventional place for body paint, but I did it there as a practice for the neck. I sprayed a non-toxic sealer on it so it stayed on all night :)

Paisley Yumminess ...!

I was really excited to paint this piece, clearly inspired by the wearers skirt. Tedious work, but worth it ;)

A Thursday night at S@mple in Richmond Va

Here are my 2 favorites from S@mples body paint night. Leopard spots with black glitter is always fun :)

As I was having fun with this linear design, she asked me if I could incorporate her boyfriends name into it.

No Sweat...

This is a face paint practice for a heat and sweat experiment I did for an outdoor event. Holds up even after 2 hrs of working in the yard in the sun! There is a product you can use to prevent sweating underneath the paint, but it wasn't necessary today :)

Designs for Men too!

I don't get to paint a lot of guys, but one of my favorite male models was nice enough to let me practice multiple designs on him for an event he was attending :) Thanks Jason!

 The upper chest design was inspired by the shape of a squid ;) Awwww, cute huh?

And Jason is only 1/2 Angel so he just got one wing that I finger painted instead of using a brush.

A final simple piece to wrap up the look, swirly vibrations.
