Creative Romantic Expressions

This was an interesting request. A man wanted me to write his lady's name on the Inside of his arm. With a black heart on his palm. So he could show her that he 'tattooed' her name onto his arm, and then slowly expose the initially closed palm. Okay. BTW ~ can you notice the little pink heart that I added on the tippy tip of his finger? to hire this artist: optidust@gmail.com (516)579-4706

Samples

Oh - I've been away from Face-Painting for a while. Recently I've been swamped with Caicature events. (I wonder if it had anything to do with the Kidsday Article that recently came out about me - I'll post a copy of it if I get a chance.) Anyway, I'm doubled up on events just now. Because the Face-Painting is really picking up again now.

I had remembered that the last time I was doing it a lot, I had gotten tired of doing the same thing over and over. So I discovered that I had more freedom to be repetitive or not
If I would Not Put Out Samples.

That worked great
back then.

But then last week I had an event. A Pre-School Graduation. Decided not to put out my Samples even though I brought them. Ick - I was confounded because one of my first kids requested a Cheetah. Ummm, I couldn't quite think of a Cheetah. Spots? Cat whiskers? And should the background be Purple? Or maybe Orange? Don't forget the nose.....

I did whatever I did, and the kids liked it. Whew. So several others asked for the same thing. And me, not really being ready, not really having studied Cheetahs, I felt insecure while I painted them.

This weekend, I'll be doing a Company Outing in a Park. I figure I'll be happier to put out A Lot of Samples as usual. But just looking at my old Samples, even though there are a hundred of them, they feel repetitive to me. I don't feel like doing that now
Again.

I have a lot of photos here of faces I had painted a while back. Putting some new Samples together. I hope you'll notice when I'm at Your Party. Perhaps the painting isn't anything new for me, but since the Sample is, I'll probably have different inspirations.

Here are 2 of my new Samples. I like how my simple flowers matched the girl's clothes. And I did a double-take on the photo of the Shooting Stars. At first, it looked like I had put large dots on the end of the woman's eyelashes - like, How did I do that??? But, lol, it's regular dots along the bottom of the eyes. Intriguing photo.





And here's the Kidsday Article:

This was a real cool day. These litl kids wanted some tuff images.
But, lol - Kids are still so real. Don't 'have their 'Act' together.
I really like how my litl 'monster' wanted a Pink sword:

Black and White Face-Painting

I love Colors. That's one of the biggest reasons why I'm an Artist.
And that includes Black and White. What I like about Colors is the
feeling that I get from each one. Black/White usually seems so crisp,
so clean. Here are two Face-Paintings that I made is Black/White:
