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.
