Extreme Face Painting

Leaving no Patch Unpainted

This comprehensive image gallery shows face painting like you’ve never seen before, by talented artist James Kuhn! This isn’t the type of art work you might see at a children’s fair or even in Flickr carnival shots.

These photographs show people who have had their entire heads coated in paint and makeup, covering everything in colour but the eyes. The models have been completely transformed into things like a animals and fruit, with accessories to make appropriate additions such a sword fish beak and pineapple leaves.

My favourite has to be the Picasso face!
