Welcome to the little nook on the web for my modeling photos at the 2009 Face and Body Art International Convention!
Since MySpace has deemed my green eggs and hams a violation of their terms of service, I've decided to host all my fun shots on my own site. Now even I recognize the fact that not everyone is kosher with a thing and pasties, but I am not prancing around in the nude - I am simply a living canvas.
I had the amazing opportunity to model for Michigan-based (but soon to be world reknowned!) body artist Andrea O'Donnell the entire weekend and she just does some of the most amazing work I've seen! So amazing, she took first place in the semi-pro competition Sunday night! :D
It was an amazing experience and I cannot wait for next year! Now, on to the pictures!!!

| A simple, yet elegant design of some hibiscus flowers Andrea did on my shoulder and back while we were going over Sunday's competition piece. I'm still looking for pictures. |
| After seeing all the wonderful posters of body art models and these crazy head pieces, I was determined to bring something fun and inspiring for Andrea on Friday. So I went to Jo-Anns and purchased a bunch of flowers (at 50% off I might add!) and two foam hearts. Cameron and I put together the headpiece in about 3 hours. Pretty cool, huh? It's allon a headband, so I could take it off when it got too heavy. |

| Andrea said she chose me as her model becuase of my costumes, so how could we not do one of my favorite comic book characters of all time? |

| Andrea's comeptition design. Absolutely amazing! I mean, of course it is, she won 1st place afterall. ;D |
   
   
And finally... me with the magical makeup mistress herself - Andrea O'Donnell and her 1st Place trophy! (Semi-Pro... could you believe this is her first time competing???)
