Lisha’s Body Art

Posted in body decoration, photography with tags body decoration, photography on February 25, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyToday, on her birthday, I want to pay tribute to my dear friend, the ethereal muse Caitin Stickles. The kind and talented Jo David introduced us because (having also weathered many challenges) she’s a perfect fit for my upcoming Kintsukuroi book.
(Warning: NSFW artistic nudity below, so please scroll accordingly).
Caitin is a prolific model, who has turned her own body into an artistic canvas filled with swirling, colorful meaningful designs.
She often posts poetic musings with her photographs:
“i suppose this is a proposal to pose in my own paradox exposed with unbridled composure.”
“forever foreign and a little extrinsic, where to exist is hiding in the mists.”
“im hardly known where i come from, but im running through the cold as im chased by the crows while my fingers are slowly going numb. my years have been spent racing, racing, and racing to catch the sun all the while hunting for a sanctuary to be free of whats next to come.”
Thank you Caitin, for all you’ve brought to my life from afar.
Kay Pike
Posted in art, body decoration, comics with tags art, body decoration, comics on January 27, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyAh, some fine comic book art, yes? Nope. It’s some fine BODY PAINT. Yes, you read that right. This is Kay Pike’s uncanny comic character reproduction on a canvas of human skin.
She does such a good job that it’s nearly impossible to make out some of the natural physical features she has camouflaged.
Perhaps some of your childhood favorite heroes and villains made it into her portfolio.
Halloween Countdown: Artistic Illusion Makeup Roundup
Posted in art, body decoration, halloween, makeup with tags art, body decoration, halloween, makeup on October 28, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyWe’ve seen creepy makeup and neon zombie body paint. Here we have some cosmetic creations with an artistic slant.
Gore and shock value can be great for Halloween, but illusions are quite impressive in their own unique way.
Halloween Countdown: Ghost Nails
Posted in body decoration, halloween, undead with tags body decoration, halloween, undead on October 14, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyThis three dimensional Halloween nail art is delightfully subtle. But once you see it…wow. I love how well she articulates the tiny hands.
PiggieLuv posts a video tutorial on how it’s done:
Halloween Countdown: Body Electric
Posted in body decoration, halloween, makeup, undead with tags body decoration, halloween, makeup, undead on October 13, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyBelieve it or not, Body Electric is the work of an “amateur bodypaintress.”
These neon zombie vixens are some of the most eye catching body paint work I’ve ever seen.
Seriously, imagine showing up to a Halloween party painted Body Electric style. Who could look away?
This girl definitely has a bright (*groan* pun intended) future in body art, if she chooses! And I hope she does.
Halloween Countdown: Creepy Makeup
Posted in body decoration, halloween, horror, macabre, makeup, monsters, skulls and skeletons, undead with tags body decoration, halloween, horror, macabre, makeup, monsters, skulls and skeletons, undead on October 5, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyThis is not your average Halloween makeup. Are you ready to see some stellar skills and masterful makeup illusions?
The effect itself is great, and I imagine it must be extra surreal to see the human mouth talking within this design.
Brilliant use of an add-on prosthetic chin!
Wow…

Bez: Android Tattoo
Posted in art, body decoration, sci-fi, steampunk, tattoos with tags art, body decoration, sci-fi, steampunk, tattoos on September 7, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyI’ve seen a number of gear, machinery and various android stylings in tattoo art, but perhaps none so unique as this brightly colored gem from Bez at Triplesix Studios:
Such a strange and beautiful combination of manufactured material and otherworldly organic matter.
Luca Luce Hand Art
Posted in art, body decoration, surreal with tags art, body decoration, surrealism on July 28, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyLuca Luce is a makeup and visual artist who creates incredible illusory hand art.
He blurs dimensions and space, sometimes with the use of little “props” to complete his designs.
…and sometimes through pure technique and perspective.
My computer is having issues saving images, so check out his site for many monsters and much creepy, hand-y goodness.

Daft Art Tattoo
Posted in art, body decoration with tags art, body decoration on July 20, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyI just looked through hundreds of Eva’s tattoo designs (she is associated with Daft Art Tattoo, but that’s about all I can tell you since the sites are not in English).
I first noticed her designs that mimic cross stitch patterns. Pretty great.
But I love her style in general.
Unfortunately, my screen capture function doesn’t seem to be working right now so I couldn’t even grab many of my favorites to post.
I wish I could have shown more of her wildlife creations…
