The historic Herberger Theater in downtown Phoenix hosts a quarterly event
called Second Act. It is an upscale schmoozfest with live music, catered
hourderves, a no-host bar, a hired masseuse, and plenty of artistic
expression. In June, I was invited to be a part of the event as the
featured artist guest of honor. For the event I did a live bodypainting
demonstration with a former Playboy model and I also displayed some of the
painted lifecasts that I have completed. For additional pictures from the
event and more of the story, go to http://www.futureclassx.com/bodypaint/sharinlouis/secondact06/secondact06.htm

It's is always neat to hear from models that I have worked with in the past and
it is especially heart warming when they tell me that they are interested in
having their pregnant belly painted. I had worked with Rebecca Swan on two
projects. The first was a club event for Bombay
Sapphire and the second was a Sci-Fi
convention with a Lord of the Rings theme. Rebecca contacted me and told me
that she and two of her best friends were all pregnant with really close due
dates and that they would all love to do a belly painting project. We
brainstormed a few ideas and the one that stuck was to paint some famous cartoon
fish. Namely Nemo from Finding Nemo, Lola from Shark Tale, and Karlos K.
Krinklebine, the frustrated fish from Cat in the Hat. We had a lovely time
and went to the little lake at Papago Park for the photoshoot. To see a
couple more shots from this project, visit my bellypainting page at http://www.futureclassx.com/bodypaint/bellypainting.htm

This is a link to an article I wrote for the new magazine Ignite. The
article is about artist John Tzelepis whose unique style incorporates designs of
structural art pieces made from various metals. His work involves a fair
amount of mathmatical precision and touts the laws of physics. To read the
article, click http://www.futureclassx.com/words/2006/JohnTzelepis/JohnTzelepis.htm
