Sawyer Flow

Felt like painting my little caustic flow technique on Sawyer, but this time I decided to ONLY cover her tattoos with it.

Happy Holidays from Sawyer and I!

I am gifting a FREE holiday NFT to collectors. You will need a Metamask wallet and a little bit of Ethereum Crypto to pay the transaction gas fee...

War and Peace

The point of this vid was to splash Sylva with water and watch the body paint run all over her. But, to my surprise, the makeup was super durable and it didn't go as planned. 

War and Peace

One of my most popular body paintings from 2011 painted on Sylva. this was the second time I painted it. Originally there was a version for the North American Body Paint Championships. I decided to repaint it because the original required pasti...

Inner Child on Alison

This was from a very old series I never really completed. The idea was to paint a portrait of the model as a child on her torso using a childhood photo as reference. In this video, the model is Alison Little. I personally believe the goal in life is to live it to the max while trying to retain as much of your inner child as p...

Can't Get anymore Classic than this!

This was my VERY FIRST official body painting on Anna published waaaay back in 2005 for Boston's Boink Magazine. Photography by Christopher Anderson

I thought up the idea to paint her backwards starting with her underwear until I added shirt and pants. Then the photos were displayed in reverse to make it look like she w...

One more BTS of Asphyxia

Here's one more behind the scenes clip of Asphyxia . It's funny the white knights that show up when they see this. Always blows my mind how people think I force models to do things like "Get in a cage". In reality, she exclaimed, "Ooh one of my n...

Asphyxia the Alien

This is from the very first time I painted Asphyxia, back in 2009. She very adamantly asked to become an alien :)

Behind the Scenes with Asphyxia

Here is some rare footage from my collaboration with Asphyxia from 2010ish.

Asphyxiation

Flashback to painting up Asphyxia Noir . Went with a concept that revolved around her attraction to erotic asphyxiation.

Looks like I'll be connecting with her again in December after quite a while and painting her up again. Can'...

Clean up time with Sawyer

I don't often document the removal of body paint. But considering the setting this time, it seemed like a cool opportunity. People often ask how long it lasts. Metallic makeups are usually extremely durable, usually dependent on skin type. Luckily for Sawyer, it didn't take a ton of effort to remove. I love the way the makeup...

Gold and Silver Metallic Base Coat

The last time I painted Sawyer, we finished a base coat like this and both thought it looked really great. So we decided to apply it again this time without any details on top and do a photoshoot with just the base coat. Here are the results.
