How did you spend your sunday? At church? Did you go on a family picnic? Maybe you took in a movie after stopping by a farmer's market where you purchased heirloom tomatoes and local honey? Or perhaps you spent the entire day lounging in your new tempurpedic bed resting up before a busy work week? Well, I spent the majority of my sunday body painting my friend Marcelino. He and photographer Kurt R Brown came up with the concept of turning him into a futuristic robot. A boybot. And if I may ask, I'm wondering what would you do with this boybot? Take him to church? Go on a family picnic with him? Take him to a movie and then a farmer's market? Or would you have a little "private alone time" with the boybot? No judgement from me. You could perhaps sit him next to you on the couch and take in an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills while telling him that you think Taylor looks too thin and that the new girl has bad taste. But I digress.......
Here's a cropped version of the finished image and the whole photo is in the second half of the posting. The final image may be a little not safe for work...... just a warning.
I've been doing a lot of body painting over the last two years and I'll share more about that in an upcoming posting. This project was something completely new for me and it was a blast. Typically I photograph the painted model and edit the pictures as well. This time, I just painted Marcelino and Kurt photographed him and edited the above final image. In case you're wondering, Marcelino is wearing an athletic cup which I painted over to match his skin. There are photos of him without that cup as well but it's up to Marcelino and Kurt if they want to release those. I'll keep you posted about that too. :)
Previous body painting postings cane be seen here.
Thanks Marcelino and Kurt for such a fun day. And definitely check out Kurt's beautiful work and Marcelino's fanpage.


I'll take 10 of those boy-bots! Great job you guys. So creative.

You really have the art of painting...how did you do the extra curve lines on his shoulders, legs and arms...they look so real.
