Lazy to wear clothes?.... body-paint lah...


The best thing in life is to make our life easier.. if you have had enough of partying... soak yourself in your perspiration and simply douse the paint.. and voila... rub it off.. and time to snooze...

ROLLING GOOD TIME!!!






Another candid and adventurous on my nude body painting.. this time round, we hijacked the infamous rolling stone's or whatever it is la's trademark... keh keh keh... and in no time... PAULINE shoved her move and captivated Jeff's roving eyes.. err.. camera that is..

Lenggang Lenggang Siput..... Dedicated specially to my mum, Hajah Khatijah Jaafar






My mum somehow threw me the idea of turning my nude body canvas into more local... KEBAYA... how about that.... mind you.. my mum is a typical haj in her prime.. she may be traditional but never conservative... yikes!... and for all her support, i vouch to do more of my local tapestries... for her to relish... she was astounded of what i could come up with.. and maybe after this Hari Raya.. i will do more.. and perhaps this time round, i will churn out of my late father's rich legacy... hmm?... JEFF!!! time to work something man!!..

Absolute Body-Painting






Jules was totally comfortable in her new 'clothes'. Approximately 3 hours of airbrush cosmetic body-paint on her on her threadless body and voila, she could walk out of the studio and anyone would think, wat a nice togs for clubbing... but better not sweat nor rain, sweetie... we don't want to be in trouble with you running naked!

Jeff was of course ecstatic at the camaraderie and connection that he has with me of my work and the model, of course.

We are in the midst of looking for other possible grounds on making body-painting as the event platform and coffee table talks and certainly welcome any possible collaborations with individuals, models, corporations, etc in making their events the talking point and perhaps a great calendar giveway.

ASIAN FOOD CHANNEL 69

ASIAN FOOD CHANNEL 69
28 Feb 07

Me & Liza are simply soul mate when it comes to body-painting.. .to be honest, this has been a great partnership in body-painting... As you know, no 2 artists are alike, however, we are simply clicked and managed to uphold the task of synchronising our work so that the 2 body painted artists look alike.

Glad to hear the event was a roaring success... i must say, the models have had a great fun themselves... somehow, its the process..

We are not simply an artists who loves to shove our idiosyncrasies, we are a team player when it comes to such projects.

Camaraderie & esprit de corps are our motto. Why create animosity...to us, such project is like injecting positive elements amongst ourselves.. that is the key to build a fabulous event.

Asian Food Channel is simply DIVINE!

body-paint

















Getting myself in body-paint by accident has indeed turn it into a spectacular career... yes.. apart from wallowing in the beauty of the art, i got paid for it. Interesting platform if you are considering incorporating it for corporate marketing campaigns such as in exhibition and product launches.

The glamour is indeed rewarding. I am simply the artist.

I coined ideas and how the body-painting could be positioned in achieving corporate objectives. An important element for any corporations indeed. I hate to dictate as an artist, esprit de corps and sense of camaraderie is preferred way., well.. we have to make everyone happy, the acquired skill since mid 1995.

My job has taken me places and i have worked for the beautiful people at MSN, Microsoft, Canon, Dell, Swatch, Tag Heuer, Hewlett Packard, Mitutoyo, Fujitsu, Swarovski, Bacardi, OCBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Make Up For Ever (of coz, i am the ambassador..), Pacific Internet, Polaroid, Heineken, Motorola, Levi's, Calvin Klein.. and ....goes on and on.

Strange though, all my life has been like one big dream.. until that very moment... the rest is history.

The essense of body-painting is in its details. The right choice of paint is of utmost importance, for that super outdoor or rather 'water-resistant' like in swimming pool, or the bloke is practically made of perpetual sweaty fountain, try supra based paint from Kryolan. But one thing for sure, it's a living hell to remove off the paint... but of coz, olive oil is the answer, unless you are being cheap... any other grease will do! Another thing i like about Kryolan, it has a good array of both wet proof and water based ultra-violet paints. This will be beautiful when the model displays places like disco and club.

I love Make Up For Ever products, not simply because i am the ambassador, but because the quality of paint is of utmost vibrancy, smoothness and it gives the sheen albeit its water based, especially the air-brush version , however, i am still urging them to produce the ultra wet proof version.

Glitter is a must in enhancing the mood and of coz, the model himself.. it is all about body and movement.
