WHAT IS BODY PAINTING?

Body painting is an interesting alternate form of art, that people around the globe take pleasure in experimenting with. Body painting dates back to a time when most tribesmen and women, including performing artists, sported colorful, elaborate works of art depending upon their purpose. Whether ritualistic, traditional, or for the sake of entertainment, body painting has evolved to a much practiced form of art in modern-day scenarios. From fine art and movies, to festivals and celebrations, body paint has made its name as one of the most creative ways to decorate the human body.

WHAT TYPE OF BODY DO YOU PREFER?

All types of bodies are welcome in the studio. The model's gender identity, expression, sexual preference, race, religion, veteran status, age, or disability do not factor into being considered for a body painting. If you have an adventurous spirit, you will probably enjoy being transformed into something majestic!  I specialize in tackling the unconventional and creating the memorable.

ABOUT THE DESIGN:

The designs are limitless, you can experiment as much as you want, and show everyone how well you look on it.  Who has a say in what art goes on the body? That's a great question! Generally a project comes to fruition in one of three ways:

1) The client applies to a themed project, with the understanding that they will be transformed into a character or archetype of their choosing, painted in my style. 
2) The client requests a specific design of their own, painted in Erik's style. 
3) The client books Erik for a session with the idea that they are just the canvas, and during the painting the art is procedural. This could mean that colors mentioned, places travelled, or inspirations provided will appear in the body painting.  This is a unique experience, with no two pieces
