Camouflage Body Painting

Body Art as a Disguise

— August 24, 2008 — Art & Design
This camouflage body painting is simply amazing.  If you look closely, you can barely see the outline of the human body. I don’t actually like the style of the paintings, as they seem a bit like paintings you would buy in a shop that is playing whale music. But, I do like the way the art is adorned onto people.

Painted alive is the name under which creator Craig Tracy has worked for twenty years. You can buy prints of his online and there is also a small selection of works for sale which are not painted on skin.

Kissing Fish - I also wanted to post about these brilliant fish face paintings. Face painting is nothing new but I can’t remember having seen an example of where two people interact such as these fish. The creator of these fish is uncredited so I can’t give them a ‘shout out’ - but if it’s you good work.
