What an awesome convention we had in Orlando, Florida this year for Face And Body Art Magazine's annual International Convention. I had the good fortune of teaching a couple of classes at this years event and had a wonderful experience of meeting many talented body artists that I had previously only known through their work. While there I was also filmed for an upcoming FOX TV reality series and I was on the Orlando local television news. To see some of the images from the event and to read my little journal of the convention, go to the web page that I put together at:

We were able to unveil a little more of the movie project that I have been
working on at the LepreCon 31 science fiction convention in May. The
movie's new title is The Villikon Chronicles - Mystere and the Disciples of Dido
and it has now gone into post production in L.A. The costumes which were
designed by Roy Young and built by Kevin Speidel (along with a little face and
bodypainting by yours truly) took Best of Show in the LepreCon Masquerade
competition. We received a ribbon, trophy, and a 1-year membership to the
Southwest Costumer's Guild. There is a whole lot more I have to say about
the project, but I'll keep it short here. For the proverbial "rest of
the story", go to the webpage below and don't forget to watch the sneak
peak trailer while you're there.

Summer concerts at Cricket Pavilion (formerly Desert Sky Pavilion) have been a
long standing tradition for Phoenix area music lovers. This year while you
are there, be sure to stop by the Pleasure Tent where I will be doing live
bodypainting on selected dates. The next scheduled date is June 26th for
the John Fogarty/ John Mellencamp concert. The two pictures above are from
the concerts that I worked for Maroon 5 and Snoop Dogg and the model for both
projects is Miriam from here in Phoenix. I have been loosely basing the
paintings on the music artist. The stripes and curly cues for Maroon 5
were inspired by the designs on their website and on their first album, Songs About Jane
- A new addition to the family has arrived. He's our brand new puppy and he is a Pomeranian/Cocker Spaniel mix and his name is Copper.
- Upcoming events:
- June 26th, 2005 - John Fogarty/ John Mellencamp concert at Cricket Pavilion in the Pleasure Tent, Phoenix, AZ. Live body painting performance.
- September 9th - 11th, 2005 - I am proud to announce that I will be the Artist Guest of Honor this year at the CopperCon Sci-Fi Convention, the Annual Arizona Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention sponsored by the Central Arizona Speculative Fiction Society, Embassy Suites Phoenix North, Phoenix, AZ.
