2016 Body Painting Examples

This is a bit overdue!  Now that body painting season is warming up again (literally), I figured it was time to show off some of the better examples from last year.

For all your happy little tree needs.

So, that was me last Halloween.  I've since cut my hair ;)

I spent most of my time last solstice working on this peacock work, for the Sol Cycles ride.  I'm happy with the results!  Photo courtesy of John Cornicello. 

By the way, if you want to see the difference between a professional photographer's output and a newb with an iPhone, here is my shot taken within five seconds of John's, *after* I did post cleanup! (Yeah, sticking with John for my shots!!)

On the same day, I also was able to get this piece done, with stencils cut in advance.  Again, photo courtesy of John Cornicello:

Finally, I did a commission piece for JJ for charity.  Her boyfriend loves Hawaiian Tiki bars, so I painting one form the viewpoint of the bartender:

Looking forward to doing more work this year!  Feel free to contact me if interested.

Body Painting Examples

For those interested in getting painted at this year's Solcycles part of the Fremont Parade, here are some samples of my work!

Done with Steve Bradford

 This one requires a LOT of silver spray paint.  The words require liquid latex to be painted on the person, and then rubbed with silver dust.  Steve nailed this technique, and I haven't done it since.  I did paint the dove, however!

Steve himself.  The line art is a lot of fun!

The elements.

She came to me a little upset, because the two tones of blue didn't match.  She wanted me to do the detail work.  I thought that it was one of the best 'happy accidents' ever, this blue gradation!

Fluffy clouds!!

I totally rock the fluffy cloud technique!  One of my favorite pieces :)

We had limited time, so I painted as many of these spots on her as I could in the few moments before everyone got the group photo and left.

C with the wonderful John C.

Rider lying down for the 'gravity detail work'

Literally throwing paint on people.  I call this technique "gravity Painting".  Here's my Gravity Painting Blog

Another Gravity Painting example

Yet still another :)
