"Horse head made seperately, cardboard painted with face paint makeup, then taped to my shoulder. I prolly should have made the horse head bigger...oh well." /// BIO http://flickr.com/people... "I am not a photographer, but i take alot of photo's! My camera is a Canon Powershot A610 5.0 Mega Pixels, and i love it!!! I am an artist, drag queen, former nudist, born again Christian, average 46 year old guy...well maybe not exactly average! I love to paint on anything, including most recently, flesh! Mostly i have painted images from the bible in a style i call "Paint Mosaic" a collage style made up of painted watercolor paper, cut up and assembled onto canvas. Currently i am having fun making photographic self portrait's, involving face painting. Face paint is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in a long while!

I have recieved world wide attention with this series, and i have to say, i love all the fuss! Forcing yourself to create art daily is a wonderful experience. I have a new discipline and a spring in my step. I am well into my 2nd. 365 project now, and hope to someday be the man of 1000 faces, like Lon Chaney! My "normal" painting has taken a back seat to my face work lately. For my face paints, i use Kryolan Aqua Color, Snazaroo, and Paradise by Mehron.

Art should never be a product. It should be a gift of love and a prayer. Art is silly, and fun, and can be powerful and sacred. I do show in galleries, but selling should never be your motivation for creating art. . Check out my websites http://www.bibleartwork.com and http://www.myspace.com/jamesku... .
