2019's theme for the Phoenix Fan Fusion Bodypainting Extravaganza (PFFBE) was "Steampunk de los Muertos". Five wonderful models painted by five fantastic artists.  

Artist Brandon McGill paired up with our only male model, Best Tardy. This was Brandon's third Extravaganza (2016 - "Tales Retold" and 2017 - "Androids"). This was Best's first PFFBE.

Artist Papi Miranda has been involved in every bodypainting extravaganza (2014 - "Goddesses", 2015 - "Aliens", 2016 - "Tales Retold", 2017 - "Androids", and the ill-fated 2018 - "Monochrome"). This time Papi's model was Violet Pixie who he has worked with on multiple projects, but this will be her first PFFBE.

Artist Brandy Wise painted model Elley Cat and this was thier first time at PFFBPE.

Artist Amber Yepez painted model Griffin Maria. This was Amber's first PFFBE, but Griffin was there last year for the "Monochrome" project, but we didn't have the opportunity to finish before the fire alarms sounded and brought our session to an end.

Artist Mark Greenawalt (Me) will be worked with Paris Harshman. Paris and I have collaborated on quite a few projects including Phoenix Comicon 2009 - "Maleficent", 2010 - "Arachne", and the 2012 - "Isis". By the way, I've been doing these bodypainting panels at Phoenix Comicon / Fan Fusion since 2008.

Dedication to Jocelyn Casdorph

We dedicated this year's event to the memory of a truly phenomenal face and bodyart artist who was taken much too soon. Jocelyn was part of our Extravaganza team for the 2015 - "Aliens" and 2016 - "Tales Retold" themes and did fantastic paintings. Here is a nice article about her from Makeup Artist Magazine:

Here is her painted model from the 2015 - "Aliens" Bodypainting Extravaganza

We had fun that day. Here is a shot of Jocelyn getting started with this painting and I'm being a goof ball and singing Bruno Mars songs in the mic.

Here is a picture from the last project that we did together. It was for the TV show The List where we were showing some facepainting ideas for Halloween. Here she is with one of her creations.

Our sincerest condolences to friends and family of Jocelyn. She was a true talent and such a joy to be around. We miss you and the wonderful work that had yet to be created.
