Happy Birthday Ethan!

I had a great time last week painting for lucky birthday boy Ethan, who requested to be a zombie!  It was  super fun party with great kids who were all smiles.  :)

Grad Night Paintings

I’d like to wish my friend Katie a big congratulations on graduating highschool this year… I remember when she was just a tot!  I had the pleasure of painting at her party this past weekend and got some fun pics to share.  Some of these are new designs and will be added to my book soon!

If you are planning a special event party and want to add some fun to the festivities, give me a call!

Horror Makeup

I took a workshop on horror makeup and special effects last week, which was great fun.  I learned how to make some pretty creepy and gross stuff!  Now, I still feel like I have a ton to learn in this department, but I did learn some sweet new tricks and how to use some cool special effects products.  Check out some of what I created… and don’t worry… it’s only paint!

And this guy is a prosthetic foam latex mask.  Once he is painted and prepped, you take out the mouth and eyes and adhere the mask to your face using special body adhesives.  The soft foam then moves with you, so the mouth and jaw and eyebrows all work along with your real face.  It is a REALLY cool effect if you’re looking  for a truly unique costume.

Lots to Learn…

It’s been a busy few days in face painting world… I’ve spent two full days this past week at 3 different face and body painting workshops, and now have some fun pics to share!  I try to constantly work on enhancing my skills so I am able to give my customers some truly unforgettable paint jobs!  New designs, new techniques, new products, and new inspiration are all helping me be the best face and body artist I can be!  I have another workshop next week so I’m looking forward to having even more great photos to share with you then.  For now… check out some of the fun new tricks I’ve learned.  Enjoy!

I just thought I’d share some new photos with you… two new designs and some other favorites from todays gig.  Enjoy!

3 New Boy Designs

I’ve been meaning to get these designs on my offering list for a while now, and have finally got some pictures to use!  I’m always looking for more boy designs, so I’m very happy to have on the list now.  Let me know what you think!

Have you ever seen a talking dinosaur?

I love painting designs that “talk”!  Here is a great one, that I just realized I never posted here or put in my book!  I’ll have to make a post one day of all my talking animals for you to see… they are super fun!

St. Patricks Day designs on Good Company

I had such a fantastic time on the Good Company Show today!  I would like to thank Michael Cardamone for being such a good sport and letting me paint him live on air.  I think he’s hooked.  ;)

For those of you who missed the show live, please take a few minutes to watch the video online at the WKYC website.  Click Here to see my segment, and feel free to share it with friends!

Here are photos of the paintings from todays show, and if you are going to be out downtown this Thursday celebrating the green, you can come get painted in one of these great designs by me at the Harry Buffalo!  I will be there at 9:30am, until… well until I drop from exhaustion!  I hope to see you there!
