A day in the life of a body painter....

Yesterday was a pretty exciting day.
In the morning, I painted Olivia's belly for a segment on ABC.com. I'll let you know when it's posted. I tried to incorporate some of Olivia's favorite things as design motifs. Olivia love red and ladybugs. She has wonderful memories of her honeymoon in Hawaii and the baby's name mean "long lived treasure". Figuring out how to put Hawaii and a treasure together was the easy part. Figuring out how to incorporate the lady bug, not so much.
In the evening, I painted the rapper, Pandemonium for a performance. He brought reference, a design that he saw online that he wanted modified to include the blues of his sweater and the letter "P".

I know I promised pics of Bobby & dinosaurs

Last month, I painted a pregnant belly and did an interview for CBS affiliates. Aside from having about 5 minutes to paint, looking like heck in the video, that they got the prices wrong & the complete lack of plugs that they got in for http://www.pregnantbellypainting.com/ , it worked out fine. ;)

Thanks to my model, the lovely Carla.

Tomorrow there will be body painting pictures of Bobby with LIVE dinosaurs! Would you believe plastic dinosaurs? Would you believe that they try to eat her? Would you believe that she tries to eat them? She does! Pictures tomorrow. I pinky swear!

5 minute belly painting for CBS tv

Carla was my lovely model. The segment will air sometime in Feb.
