One thing Wallmart is good for is you can get a lot of something for cheap. For example. Paint brushes. Here used as a wig? Combine that with the punkfunk of Mick Boisvert and we got ourselves some fun!
This portrait came from the Nordic Awards in Helsinki, where craft and imagination met in one quiet frame. The gold shape, the shimmer around the eyes, the pearls, the flowers. Each part felt precise, but together they became something softer and stranger. A portrait like a dream that decided to stay still.

After my Ancient Cray Portrait series, which used 96 crushed up crayons, I was left with the wrapper for those crayons. Why not make a mask out of them I thought to myself.

Captured in Sterzing during my workshop at the World Bodypainting Festival 2025, Valeriia shines in a delicate gown, framed by the gentle bloom of roses. A fleeting moment of elegance shared with twelve creative souls, where beauty and artistry met in harmony.

Valeriia at Creative Jam in Vipiteno. An angel carved from ice.
Her breath slips into the air and finds the back of your neck first: a quiet warning.
Lace blooms across her brow, silver horns rise like glacier ridges, and dark tears split the white like fractures in ice.
Whatever she reaches for goes still: Beautiful, silent, perfectly frozen.
Model: Valeriia

In the pulse of Helsinki’s Creative Makeup Awards, she wore her beauty like protection.
Crystals clung to her skin. Delicate, precise, unbreakable! Turning light into a shield and shadow into strength.
Smoky eyes, lacquered edges, leather against the throat… every detail felt intentional, like armor forged for a softer kind of battle.
In the quiet between demonstrations, she didn’t just pose. She held her ground, radiant and untouchable.

Amid the pulse of Helsinki’s Creative Makeup Awards, Jannika stepped into the light like an apparition forged from shadow and glass.
Jasmiina’s artistry wrapped around her. A crown of lacquered fragments, shimmering like a midnight nebula, and lines that moved across her skin with the delicacy of ink in water.
In the quiet moment between demonstrations, she held her poise with an almost regal stillness.
Power and vulnerability intertwined, turning the dark into something luminous, something otherworldly.

Dress - BeBe, on sale. Super cheap. No one was interested in it's fantastic shape and design so I snagged it and in my size at that. This was about $17.00, YEARS ago. Had to dust it off b/c it was hidden in my closet for so long.
9AM photo shoot and the most painful location made the cut. There was a few good ones but this shot did it for me. Might post the others if I have sometime to mess with them.
* Random thought - I need to invest in some more gloves.
* Music I was listening to today - Laibach, remix album.

Come little children
I’ll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children,
the times come to play
Here in my garden of magic.”

She looked straight through the dark.
The feathers crossed the frame like smoke.
The red burned deep.
For a moment, the makeup felt older than the room, older than the stage, older than us.

She stood beneath the lights like a vision pulled from a darker myth. Blue roses, jeweled horns, and a face turned almost ghostly made her feel less like a model and more like an apparition called into the room. This was one of three live promo makeups created before an audience in Helsinki during the World Championship of Creative Makeup and the Nordic bodypainting awards. A performance, a transformation, and a moment where beauty became something untamed.
