Now, we want to introduce the work of **John Vargas**. Vargas is an Ecuadorian artist who does commercial body painting and by looking at the work in the gallery, it's clear he's very good at what he does. Vargas works with both male and female models; his source of inspiration is very eclectic as seen in the included photos. This is really impressive. I love the female bullfighter and the [graffiti-inspired camouflage work](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics).
