Captain America

Recently in Los Angeles, my friend Jazzmin invited me to come to a body painting for a Golden Age Superhero photoshoot. I thought, "Heroes AND bodypaint? I'm in!" Then it was the great debate with myself, so many great choices to choose from! I finally decided on The Phantom, (and was quite excited about it) but then was unable to find a bald model available on the date of the photoshoot!! Who knew bald super heroes would be hard to find in L.A.??  Jazzmin then told me she had found a model who would make a great Captain America. Enter Sean Lerwill, a U.K. actor and model who just happened to be in town, and who just happened to make the perfect Captain America! Turns out that not only does Sean make a great Golden Age Super hero, he's also just an all around cool guy. We had a great time turning him into a Captain America that could give Mr. Evans a run for his money! I turned it up a notch by adding in metallic blue, to really send home that Super Hero look. It  turned out to be a great day in any Verse

The LA Make Up Show

In March,  Andrea of Bad Ass Stencils fame, asked me to come body paint at her booth, Bad Ass Stencils, at the L.A. Make Up show. Of course I agreed! I painted Simone Dawes with a colorful Scarab type design. I tried to showcase many "out of the box" uses for the stencils by creating a multidimensional design that came to life through the strategic placement of various textures. The makeup show itself was fun, and I saw a lot of familiar faces!  Afterwards, we went to party at The Velvet Margarita, the most delightfully tacky restaurant in L.A.! Here we had an amazing Mexican meal and an amazing margarita (or two, or was that three? hmmm...could have been four). Viva la Bad Ass!
