The 2007 Bodypainting by Mark Greenawalt desktop calendar is now
available. This year I have gone back to the desktop size that includes
the customized CD case that props up for easy viewing. I've also reverted
back to the professional CMYK printing process instead of the inferior digital
copies. Surprisingly, I have been able to reduce the price of them this
year by having more printed. Gracing the pages of the calendar this year
are the following models: Michelle Monroe, Courtney Black, Alice Borcean,
Paris Harshman, Bridgette Strawbridge, Liliana Aramburo, Erin Glover, Jason
Coleman, Ashley Crisci, Kesia Camacho, Erik Andress, Angel McNeill, Kalucha,
Tomica Duvall, and Sabrina Poulsen. I did the graphic layout and most of
the photography except for contributions from photographers Don Crossland, JP
Photography, and Rodrigo Piedra. To see the rest of the images that made
this years edition and to order your copy, please visit the calendar page at http://www.futureclassx.com/bodypaint/calendar/2007/2007calendar.htm

My oldest son has expressed an interest in acting. Through some internet
research we found auditions for a children's musical at Desert Stages theater in
Scottsdale. The show was called "Big the Musical" and it was the
staged version of the Tom Hanks movie from the 80's. Since the ages they
were auditioning went from 3 years old to 19 years old, my youngest son decided
that he wanted to audtion too. I had prepared them both that it was
unlikely that they would make the cut, but all of us were surprised and elated
to find out that both of them had been selected for parts. The shows took
place every Friday night and two shows on Saturday from August 11th
through September 9th. They both did wonderful and my wife and I were very
proud of them.
About a year ago I painted one of the Kaleidoscope Horses at the Arizona State
Fair. This little resume piece was instrumental in getting the credibility
to do some touch-up work with the Trail
of Painted Ponies. The horse named "Blue Sky Horse" had been
damaged while being moved from place to place and some of the paint had been
scraped away. My secretary from my day-job had left to work with the Trail
of Painted Ponies headquarters in Scottsdale and she dropped my name as an
airbrush artist that might be able to restore the painting. The original
painting was done by Santa Fe artist Jim
Alford. I hope to one day paint one of my own pony from the Trail of
Painted Ponies. Click on the picture above to see the enlarged version of
the refurbished painting.
There was a party sponsored by Smirnoff Vodka at a local club and I was hired to
bodypaint a top on a spokes model. This picture is of Kyla before she left
for the event. I was not able to attend the event, but rumor had it that
it went over wonderfully. Click on the image to enlarge the picture.
E-ya later,
