Faces can only be painted using theatrical makeups that are created for the face because the skin on the face is very sensitive to many chemicals and because many people are allergic to chemicals and solvents on their faces. If someone has an extreme allergy to something then things can go really badly very quickly where an ambulance may have to be called and so some care and education is needed. Even regular acrylic paints, gouaches or inks should not be used at all under any circumstances because the pigments used are not suitable for the face and may in fact agitate people’s skin and also stain the skin somewhat for a few days after it is removed.

There are quite a few companies in the world that manufacture face makeups or face paint in other words, and most of them have websites where you can buy their paints from them, or if not that, then links to their retailers. Some companies make their paints in liquid form but most companies sell their paints in puck / cakes which you activate using some water and a sponge, pad or brush. Face paints can be applied using the airbrush if the makeup is liquified and thin enough for the model of airbrush, but most face painters use sponges, pads and brushes.

There are no schools for face painting alone, but there are schools for makeup and FX which teach face painting. There are also often classes, face and body painting conventions and seminars happening in places around the world where you can go and learn from the masters. Often at face and body painting conventions such as FABAIC (www.fabaic.com) or at Bodyssey or other events.

You can learn how to paint faces using online learning resources like Face Colors http://facecolors.net/ or it’s affiliate site How To Paint Faces http://howtopaintfaces.com/ . For a small fee you get to see how Joshua Mayhem renders his face paintings step by step by either video tutorial or photo and text.

Canada defeated the United States 3-2 for the ice hockey gold medal on Sunday. The triumph in the country’s favourite sport was Canada’s 14th gold medal, a talley never reached before at the Winter Games by any country.

“Alex (Bilodeau), your first gold (on February 15 in freestyle skiing) gave us permission to feel and behave like champions. Our last one will be remembered by generations,” said organizing committee head John Furlong at the closing ceremony.

Looking at the overall Games, Rogge spoke before the ceremony of “this extraordinary embrace of the entire city of the Olympic Games, something I have never seen on this scale before.”

This is Canadian body painting artist Joshua Andrews’ Oh Canada themed body painting with model Alex G.

The reason why big and small companies  have begun to use body painted models and actors and performers now when they never did before is elementary: a moving, dynamic human billboard gets more attention than a sign, a banner or even a commercial does these days. The other reason why things have changed so drastically in such a short amount of time is because of society’s rapidly shifting attitude towards tattoos and tattooing in general.

Here is a gallery of body painted models with corporate ads rendered by various artists around the world.

Tony Davis is an airbrush artist from America that has a bunch of great videos online for everyone to see. It is very kind of him to publish the information that he does online for free because a lot of skill, time and effort went into his videos and he could have just as easily sold them as DVDs.

In this video tutorial Tony shows you a secret of the masters that has remained a secret until now.

Hajime Sorayama - Hyper realistic sexy robots

According to http://www.sorayama.net/
“In the late 1990′s, Sorayama was approached by the Sony Corporation to design an organic robotic form. It became the famous “AIBO” dog, now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art and then Smithsonian Institute of Technology. Intrigued by the effects of light on various metallic surfaces, and always ready for challenges to his technique and imagination, he began to produce a series of female robotic figures in the late 1970¹s; anatomically correct in form, but appearing to have been fashioned of molten silver. The term “sexy robot” was coined to describe them.

The term “Gynoids” was created by the female British SF writer, Gwyneth Jones, and developed by another British writer, Richard Calder. The word is a combination of “droid” (greek “in the image of”) and “gyn” (greek “woman”).These female cyborgs of Sorayama combine elements both human and mechanical. The soft, sensuous body parts are cleverly intertwined with inorganic, machine-like connections and protrusions to create entrancing images which embody complex and subtle tensions.”
