Right before I left this October, I bought wolfe white and black...

I'd love to hear anyone else's experience with Wolfe paint. I'm telling you right now, in 3 weeks I've almost killed that black. Its addictive... Apparently, hard to remove (average of 3 showers) but addictive. So now I'm considering buying more of their colors.

Black and Blue are the hardest colours to remove because the pigments have to be ground twice to work with the binder, this makes the pigments finer therefore they sneak into the pours of the skin.... Baby Oil just takes the stain away in one go!

Yep. My work has been stolen and posted on profiles here before - a vigilant Bodypainter caught it and sent me a Note.

I truly don't think Thieves understand how small and tight a world this is....

CAM is a great idea, and I welcome folks to contact me directly (ON THESE MATTERS ONLY)....since as often as not, I know who the original artist is.

This is great.  I am an accomplished artist but have never bodypainted.  It is something I'd really like to try.

Being an illustrator, you've got a great advantage! The links in the OC should give you a great starting point. Feel free to message the artists with additional questions, that's what we're here for. Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to see listed.

I'm really not sure, I definitely want more activity on the thread. Would people be interested in a contest or a pic of the week type of thing?

I'd be interested; anything to try & get better.

seems kinda relevant,

There's a brand new airbrush tutorial dvd for sale on a certain person's MM profile and website

Bwaahahahahaa!!!! Actually, Paul, if it's as good as your classes at FABAIC, it's worth having! I'm gonna get the hang of this airbrush thing if it makes me crazy; I think it's addition to brush painting is a great idea. I watched Georgette Pressler combine the 2 beautifully last weekend.

Some Spam is more delicious than others.

Depends on how it is prepared.

I prefer mine grilled with pineapple.

And you've fixed it just the way I like!

Question about portfolio images, copyright infringement & desirability...
I've been interested in doing a couple of advertising paintings for my portfolio. Liquor ads, beer ads, tourist destination ads & other types of logos done as body paintings.
Do y'all think having a Budweiser or Absolute or See Florida!, etc. shoot is a good album to have when showing to prospective clients?
Any idea whether or not I'm breaking written or moral laws by copying someone else's logo as a painting?

I'm not exactly sure how that works, I THINK it is legal to use a logo to show that you know how to paint a logo. But there is probably a legal gray area. I've gotten around this by painting my own logos and showing off that ability.

Well I know that Graphic Design students do "mock-ups" using real brands as well as their own fictitious brands. I know of a college teacher who's favorite assignment instructs students to creatively advertise the Naked Juice brand. One of my photographer friends had to make a Clinique ad for her portfolio in college. So based on my observations, (lol) I imagine that it is legal as long as its portfolio use only. I have a few brand concepts I'd love to shoot too so if I'm epically wrong, I guess we're going down together.

I think you are safe in portfolio use only....then again, the Internet has changed some of the rules because portfolio's are now seen around the world.
