Both MomoCon and Furry Weekend Atlanta were a blast. I had a lot of fun and I am grateful to be invited to do the body painting panels for both conventions.

Before MomoCon I painted Andre as Piccolo from the Japanese animation series DragonBall Z. You can see photos of it on his deviantART page here.

The panel at MomoCon was fun. The audience was nice and engaging and very eager to be painted. What really made me happy about it was to see someone come up who was interested in actually try some airbrushing. So he came up and we drew a volunteer from the crowd and let him paint the volunteer while I stepped him through. He did an excellent job for his first time. I sincerly hope he decides to get his own equipment and pursue it further.

At Furry Weekend Atlanta I painted Jessica as a dog Friday night and I painted her as a tiger Saturday. I also painted Melissa as a blue and purple dragon. Best dragon I’ve painted yet, though I don’t have photos yet. They both appeared at the panel which I felt help add to it. It helps to have a live model appear all painted up to show off the art.

Again, I painted someone from the audience and explained the steps that I took. I was very surprised that someone I painted at the first Furry Weekend Atlanta I attended appeared very eager to learn how to paint. I let him try the equipment and stepped him through painting someone. I gave him some practice doing lines and spots on my arms first this time though. He did really well for his first time too and I spoke with him for a bit after the panel about how he can start painting on his own. I was very pleased.

If anyone has photos of my work or the panels please let me know. I don’t have a working camera.

Anna has always admired body painting but never had the pleasure of experiencing it herself. Until quite recently of course.

Kate makes wonderful costumes. She made this outfit to wear at DragonCon ‘08 and wanted me to do some makeup for her to complete the outfit. Unfortunately I didn’t have time during DragonCon so we met to do a photo shoot together.

I had a lot of fun this year. I was so busy painting that I didn’t have a lot of time to take pictures. However, here’s what I was able to capture.

Carley as Sinful Suzi.

If anyone spots other pictures of my work please send me a link to it. I painted a tigeress; the same from last year. I also painted Crypt Chick.

I will be going to DragonCon this coming Aug 29-Sept 1, 2008. However, I regret to inform everyone that I am completely booked for this event.

I will be giving a panel at MomoCon about body painting. It’s scheduled on Sunday, March 16th at 7pm.

Last year I nearly filled up the room, so I’ve requested a microphone. Since it’s so late in the day I think I’d like to get someone to model for me and paint earlier in the day and show up for the panel. I think a lot of people will be interested to hear what the model has to say about what it’s like to get painted. However, I don’t know if people in the audience would be interested in getting something simple done since it will be towards the end of the day, and that’s usually a big part of the appeal. It’s hard to predict what people like and what people don’t like, so I’ll have to see how it goes.

Well everyone, it’s about time, but I have completely redesigned my website. I recommend checking out my new gallery. You can now sign up and post comments on my site.
