Re: Why is there not a bodypaint section on this forum?

Impressive Toxic!

[drayce]

I would adore to see a body painting forum!
I actually have a few friends who are working on an art project who asked me to paint, so all the help I couldget the better!

[Shelley Bellefontaine]

Fantastic work . So inspirational !! . I too would love to see a body painting section , and agree maybe it can be done in away that only we see it

Here is another I did the other month at one of the events of the American Bodypaint League: Salt Lake Chapter.

OMG! Bravo! Just lovely!

[Psalmbook]

I've been for having a body painting section as well. Most body painting gets posted under general unless it's prenatal & then goes under belly painting....

[Psalmbook]

BTW, great work Toxic Images Studios!

[monna]

amazing!

[Shelley Bellefontaine]

competing in Austria this year at the WBPF Toxic? If not You SHOULD be!!!

[toxic Image Studios]

Shelley... Thanks for the kind words. No.. I do not compete at anything. Never. Just not interested in it. I am however happy to paint at any kind of demonstration or fashion show type event.

[Shelley Bellefontaine]

I totally understand. i did one face painting competition at at convention, decided competing was not for me. It took the joy out of painting for me. I did not like the idea of people judging my work based on rules( weather or not how well i followed them) or what their definition of art was . I want to paint for the love of what i do. I always say that face painting is my bread and butter, body painting feeds my artistic soul There is nothing like seeing something you imagine in your head . literally come to life!

Dude, super fantastic!

Two more pieces I did this past week. Both photos by Greg Jaxson.
First
Model Joanie Brosas

Second
Model Jessi
This was for a Zodiac Project.... different artist for each sign. I had Gemini. Little dark I know... but I thought it turned out awesomely

[leapinglizards]

Geiger would be proud! Love it. Why Gemini 14?

[Katurah]

Wow!!! You are seriously fantastic!!!

How long do these paintings usually take you?

[toxic Image Studios]

Leapinglizards... I chose 14 because I wanted it to appear as those he was one of many collected specimens. I liked that it had one of each numeral aesthetically. The actual number 14 has no relevance.

Katurah.. They usually take between 3-6 hours depending on on complexity of the design.

Thanks for the kind words guys

[Jody Rife]

I am loving looking at your work. Thank you for sharing. It really excites me and makes me want to plunge in to some more intense body painting!
