(Runway Concepts body painted Alaric Tay as Avatar in The Noose Season 3)Getting myself in body-paint by chance 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.
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, Pacific Internet, Polaroid, Heineken, Motorola, Levi's, Calvin Klein.. and ....the list goes on...
The essence 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.
Airbrush is a must when it comes to body painting, simply, it adds the oomph to our inherent 3D of human canvas.
And a dash of glitters will add glitzy look to the finished look
