Wow, that appears to be a whole lot of paint and not a lot of costume! Sort of has an Avatar meets Cats meets Monsters Inc. feel to it - Thanks Carm!
Wow. What a bunch of prudes. I'm pretty conservative, actually, but doing this takes a great deal of skill on the part of the artist, and a LOT of patience/discomfort on the part of the model. She would have to stand for at least 3-4 hours straight while the body paint is applied, and continue standing until the photoshoot or whatever is done. There's no way she could sit down without smearing the paint. She'd even have to be very careful in her movements. The room would have to be quite cool to avoid any chance of her sweating ('perspiring' for all of you 'Southern Belles') which would also ruin the paint, and as you've all pointed out (in various ways) she doesn't have much to keep her warm. This really IS art. Only it's using the human body as a canvas rather than using a canvas to paint the human body ON. I, for one, like and appreciate this. Oh, and I think it's a bit tacky to complain about what someone provides (for free) on their own website. If it's 'not up to snuff' or whatever, in your opinion, then stop visiting. He doesn't OWE anyone anything! Just say 'thank you' for all of the hours of amusement you have provided us and move on.
Yeah Colleen but I think we've all become used to the rigid, gravity-defying globes of silicone over the years. Real breasts with some obvious heft seem out of place and rather frightening to some.

Not sure which is more annoying:
1) Lack of anything new from Chris
2) Mounting SPAM postings in the comments
3) SPAM comments that paraphrase actual posts

please make it stop!
Posted by: cat | June 06, 2011 at 10:22 PM
AJ - definitely 1. Lack of anything new from Chris - disappointing Chris, disappointing :(
