Dr Who themed "Exploding Tardis" Bodypaint.

I have been promising to paint a Dr Who themed body paint on to my friend Gabby's belly while she is pregnant. Yesterday looked lie the last chance before the wee lad was finally born so we hung out watched X-Files and painted some Dr Who Geekery.

The Exploding Tardis is an image created for the BBC for "The Pandorica Opens" for Series 5 of Dr Who. The image is based on an imagines painting by Van Gogh featuring the Dr's Tardis exploding in the sky in Van Gogh's signature style. It is a great image and perfect for a pregnancy body paint. We thought it was an very apt design to paint onto Gabby's belly, what with the whole "bigger on the inside" thing.

Painted with Cameleon Bodypaints. Using some fabulous new colours from their range, particularly the new "Purdy Purple" which provides the dark purply blue tones, and the new Scareline colour "Tiger" which adds a rich ochre orange shimmer to the explosion, and Van Gogh's signature swirls.

Cameleon Time Tattoo

Look what arrived in the mail today! Time Tattoo from Cameleon. A new product in conjunction with Senjo Colour Alcohol based tattoo inks. I have been using tattoo inks by Temptu and Reel for years for projects and was interested to see how these shaped up. I was impressed. They were easy to work with, painted easily, worked well when thinned with alcohol for shading. I am really looking forward to more shades and colours. 


Experimenting with the gorgeous new Time Tattoo Set from Cameleon. Love the blue back colour. Works great hand painted, next I'll try it through an airbrush smile emoticonSo far I am loving it and it is still going strong on my arm.

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.
