Every year I body paint at a New Orleans event called LA Fete put on by my good friend, Bethanie. This year was cool as always. Great people, great body painting, camaraderie and amazing cajun food and bbq.
The first day of LA Fete kicked off on St Patrick's Day. That chilly evening was the St Patrick's Day parade. There were many bizarre and fun things to see on the parade route., I mean it is New Orleans after all! Crazy kilts, floats with bands rocking out while tossing out mass amounts of beads, and dinosaur bicycles to name just a few.
On day two, my friend Jessica Mellow wanted to get painted but was unsure of a theme. An interesting thing about Jessica is her LOVE of sporks!!She is a huge collector … so that could mean only one thing, I cranked out a spork themed design on her where Giant Sporks are attacking the city. An action horror movie in the making I tell you! Perhaps a SyFy production? Sporknado?
On day three, I body painted my friend Kara Andrews in a monochrome blue design. I had been wanting to do a design in this "painterly strokes" fashion for about a year. It looks like an oil painting on a black canvas. I love how it turned out.
Sadly I missed the zombie crawl on the last day due to catching a flight to my next body painting project. However LA Fete was, as always, a fantastic event!!
