MARDI GRAS FULL BODY PAINTING
I do body-painting for several Mardi Gras krewes and marching groups. This was a full body painting for the Krewe of Ikaros , Mardi Gras 2014, the model was leading a small parade and represents the Sun.
It takes about 2 hours to paint the whole body.

Mardi Gras quick and easy designs.
I do quick chest designs when I paint people on Bourbon street or in clubs. Something like that takes about 15-20 minutes and is very affordable. I can put some background paint under the design, then it will take longer.
I kinda like it this way, as skin is a great background!

JAZZ FEST
I am available for Jazz Fest parties and body-painting on Fairgrounds.
Women do not walk around topless at JazzFest - but it's pretty hot and people show a lot of skin, so I do a lot of arms, backsI , belly-buttons and some face-painting for adults and kids too. I am also available for private bookings after 8 pm - in my studio, on Bourbon or Frenchmen st. - or in your hotel in FQ or Marigny.
Here are some more pictures of Jazz Fest body-painting, if you find yourself there - please, e-mail me, I'll send you the image without credits. It's pretty much similar to body-painting at any music festival.

Sports body-painting
I do a lot of face-painting for Saints and LSU games and parties, but the play-offs are in winter, people wear long sleeve shirts and I do mostly face-painting for play-offs...
Here is a rare picture from Mudbug Madness festival in Shreveport - it's in May, and guys walk around without shirts and love to get painted with their favorite teams' logos.
But if you want to get body-painted for a photo or a party - I can sure make you look like a Tiger or paint fleur-de-lis on you!
I can also do full body UV paintings with sports logos.

Oregon Country Fair and music festivals
Oregon Country Fair is West Coast version of Mardi Gras - it's a hippy carnival in the woods in Venetta, Oregon in the middle of july.
Women traditionally go topless there and love body-painting! I have been working at OCF since 2004 as an "artist in residence" at Cafe Lafayette (booth #400) - creole/cajun eatery owned by Louisiana-born chef Sherry Fisher. I paint Cafe Lafayette workers and fair-goes in front of the Cafe and at the Main Stage.
I also did body-painting at Gathering of the Vibes, FairyWorlds, Reggae on the River, NW String Summit, NW regional Burning Man, EarthDance and whole bunch of other music festivals...There is a separate page for NW Burning Man - this is the only festival where I did both day-time and UV bodypainting and took lots of pictures.
