Homage to Klimt, originally uploaded by artisaniris.

A ‘living art’ tribute, to the artist that has most significantly influenced my painting style. Gustav Klimt was an Austrian Symbolist painter whose richly embellished style is immediately recognizable.

Just a typical day at the office…

Today’s project started bright and early ~ Bright RED that is.

This clan of red folk was created by the Skin City Bodypainting team.

Posing with my models for “Skeletal Metal”, a company that makes some pretty cool jewelry from surgical stainless steel. This evening’s event was hosted by Grape Vegas, Winebar.

Today’s work offered me a lesson in anatomy… Hopefully this will pass, for an untrained eye - Don’t bother to email me if you are a med student, surgeon, or forensic anthropologist … Let’s just say, I used my ‘creative license’ on this one, and leave it at that.

Some beautiful things can happen when you get a couple of friends together for a spur of the moment art adventure….

Here are some pics from a recent bodypainting session contributing to a collective photoshoot hosted at Guideng Studios, Las Vegas, NV. I created a black lace collar and lace gloves, as well as a delicately crafted ‘lace corset’ all fashioned with the brush… Model: Tamee Simon

Body Painting with Mark Reid

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 06:26:48 +0000

Check out Mark Reid’s Amazing ’skin tight’ jeans that believe it or not… are PAINTED. He was very cool to let me contribute my hand, and I painted a little ditty on the back side of her ‘blouse’. What fun to paint with this guy… He travels the country splashing his unique style of bodypaint upon the most gracious of lovely ladies. Mark heads up the NORTH AMERICAN BODY PAINTING CHAMPIONSHIP — We are really looking forward to having this in Vegas in twenty-eleven.

Location: Electronic Music Cafe - Las Vegas
