Body painting

I feel like Walmart's like, why is she buying so much spray paint? Yeah.

again um but yeah but I mean painting like I like to do body paint so I do green a lot and I guess that's more my medium would be body painting and makeup, I guess that counts.

Yeah, it does.

Because I mean, I think that when it comes to STEM and art, anything that is about creating and innovating and transforming is kind of all within the realm of that.

I mean, I have obviously seen some of the body paint that you've done as well, like the mystique um was something that i thought was really really awesome honestly i don't think that amongst cosplayers at least not the ones that i've talked to that body paint comes into the fray as much and i think that that is actually an incredibly difficult thing to pull off um and make it look and translate the way that you would expect it to from the screen to like on an actual person

Yeah.

I mean, I've obviously improved significantly in the last, what, seven years I've been doing it.

What about the creative videos? Air New Zealand's body paint video, the Virgin America animated one.

Those were engagement plays.

Air New Zealand's bare essentials video in 2009 was the first viral safety video.

Crew in Body Paint strategically positioned props.

It got millions of views online.

Virgin America's animated video in 2013 was nominated for a Grammy.

I'm just so, I don't know if I've got much of a style.

Like apparently I've got a body painting style that people know it's my body paint, but face painting.

I'm a mishmash of lots of styles.

I think I'm just a mishmash painter, hit and miss painter style.
