Jamvention - Camouflage Bodypainting Hands on Workshop

Last weekend I had the honour of being invited to teach at FIP's Jamvention event in Belgium, a face and bodypainting event at a fabulous castle in the rural heart of Belgium, what a treat and what an amazing group of people! I had a wonderful time teaching a hands on workshop on Camo bodypainting. I hope my students enjoyed themselves as much as I did. You are all an inspiration! I am sharing some images by the students who did an utterly amazing job! 

The images below were painted by my students in one of my Hands On Camouflage classes.

We LOVE you Scotland!

On Thursday 18th September 2014 the Scots People will vote on wether to leave the UK and become and independent nation or to remain part of the UK. Those living in Scotland may vote, but the result affects the whole nation.

Those of us without a vote, but who are British Nationals have watched the discussions and campaigns for the Yes or No votes. We cannot tell the Scots how to vote, but we can tell them how we feel about them. We decided to shed the British reserve and do something special. A group of British ladies from all over the UK got together with Bodypainter Emma Cammack and create a modified version of the Union Jack with the Scottish Saltire as the heart at the centre. A picture is worth a thousand words and this one is a message of love to the Scottish from their fellow Brits. 

Dear Scotland, 

We are shedding our British reserve to say "We Love You!". We understand if you need to go, we hope you choose to stay, we will always love you either way. 

If you agree please like and share this image. Thank you.

Skin Wars Guest Judge appearance

As many of you will have seen by now I was honoured to be asked to be a Guest Judge on the new show Skin Wars on GSN in the USA. 

I appear in episode 2 when the challenge is to blend models into the shelves of a supermarket. It was quite a challenge to paint sight unseen like that and I was impressed at what the contestants managed under pressure. Choosing the best between such talented artist's work was not an easy task. I hope you enjoyed the show as much as we enjoyed making it.

I look forward to watching what they challenge them with next...

Fine Art Bodypainting Installation Award at World Bodypainting Festival with Trina Merry

The World Bodypainting Festival happens every year in Austria.

This year I had no intention of painting, but got persuaded by my lovely friend, Trina Merry, who persuaded me to help her paint her installation piece for the Fine Art Installation Award. My daughter, Isobel cam and helped too. It was a beautiful experience in this gorgeous Austrian countryside. Our models were painted to blend into backgrounds painted by Trina and formed part of the live action installation piece. The best surprise was that we won first prize :)

A Still from the performance.

FPBA Convention Las Vegas - 2011 - Student and Instructor Challenge

For the Instructor / Student Challenge I was set up with a great team of 3 students to mentor. We chose a design that would be organic and could grow and develop with the students confidence. In stead of asking htem to stick to my idea I wanted them to work within my framework for creating a base / backdrop and them let them jam and experiment with new techniques they had learnt at the convention, show off a bit. I am not really one for competition style body painting and and for a couple of them it was thier first ever bodypaint so I wanted to take the pressure to win and complete a set design I wanted finished to my standards off them and allow them to relax and enjoy their first bodypaint with no pressure to win. The finished look was completely different to how I would have painted it - but I love it as it has a created piece of each girl's creativity shining through all in all it is something of a collaborative collage. As it was even though we were not going for a podium position our design came in 3rd place. Our team consisted of myself, Ronnie Cyr, Erica Taylor and Holly Smith. Well done everyone!! Our model Melinda was a fantastic sport so a big thanks to her too!
