body artist

[jules27]

Hi dont know if any one can help me ,my daughter is doing GCSE ART AND HAS TO FIND AN ARTIST WHO PAINTS clothes onto semi naked women . IE a female model wearing nothing but a painted dress or pair of jeans onto her semi naked body . My daughter has seen a book containing the artist ,but cannot remember the name . Any ideas ??????????????????

Sorry - don't know, but remember that a MNer is a body artist - will try to remember which one

There is a Mnetter that does this.
I can't think of her name now.

Sharklet is a body artist of some note afaik.

Thats her.
Sharklet!

Didn't she have the hard task of painting a naked young maaaan the other day?

That's her. Have been trying to search (unsuccessfully) for the thread I remembered.

Thanks girls , is this artist a famous one ? the artist paints people into the picture , they become part of the picture. IE A WAREHOUSE WALL AND THEN THE ARTIST PAITING THE BODY OF THE FEMALE MODEL TO BLEND INTO THE PITURE, SO SHE WOULD BE NAKED ,BUT WEARING THE PAINTING.

Hi Jules,

I am a bodypainter. I've done lots of blending people into walls and painting clothes etc for books, film and TV. Have a nose at my website if its any help - there are lots of bodypainting links on there. \link{www.emmacammack.com\Sharklet's Website}

Its possible it could be some of my work she's seen but far moe likely its from a book recently out by Joanne Gair called "Paint a Licious" \link{http://www.joannegair.com/body1.htm\Joanne's website is here}

The other main possibility is Veruschka who was a pioneer in modern body painting her website is \link{www.veruschka.net\Veruschka} her best known book is called Transfigurations.

If its none of those try and give me some more information and I should be able to help you,

Hepls if I do the link properly - tricky when a 2 year old is using you for a climbing frame!

I'm betting its veruschka's stuff now I re-read what you said about blending into warehouses... Her site seems to be down at the moment - but I can always post some of her stuff on the profiles bit if it helps, let me know.

Just uploaded a picture of veruschka's for you \link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?rn=41676&topicid=1700&threadid=155225&redir=41676\Veruschka picture}

Thank you sharklet, knew i could trust a mumsnetter to help us out.The info is just what my girl was looking for. I have shown her quickly and she plans to look at all the sites later when she is home from school .Thanks once again . jules.

No worries Jules,

If she needs any help with finding out anything and is stuck or if she needs more images let me know. As well as being a freelance bodypainter I lecture in it so I have learning resources coming out of my ears for anything on body art.
