Artist's Comments

So I put this in painting because it really is mostly painting even though it is a combination of body art, photography, traditional oil painting and some digital manipulation.

So the full process is:
Step 1: I painted on my friend Patrick
Step 2: I photographed Patrick painted
Step 3: I cropped and edited the photo
Step 4: I printed the photo
Step 5: I painted on the photo with oil paints
Step 6: I scanned the photo and touched it up a little more to reestablish and intensify the colors.

This process was inspired by the work of ~bogscraper so if you are interested in seeing more stuff like this you should check out his gallery.

I also have included in my scraps pictures of the initial process of painting on my friend Patrick taken by my friend Sam.

Yeah, I can't get away from the bright color no matter what I do. I'm glad you like it. It is like the teacher has given me his stamp of approval. Thank you!

Yes, I do have some very good friends. They are very patient with me. This past weekend I drew some wings on one with washable marker. I need to look into finding the photos and seeing if it is okay that I post them.
I'm glad you like my experiment.

before I forget ... thanks for the fave on 236.

I never thought of trying that. I have done temp tattoos for my kids with Sharpee! That was really fun.

You're welcome.
With the washable marker you need to be careful because it does smudge and I suspect on a hot sweaty day the ink would run. I had the suggestion of face paints and I looked into it and it seems they actually make paint just for bodies. It seems you can find it with theatrical makeup. I'm thinking of getting myself some as it really is a fun activity.
