Pretty On The Outside

David Gilmore + Marcelino Rosas + Next Magazine

My body paint and photography are on the cover of Next Magazine. I painted my handsome friend Marcelino to look like a lovely lady. He's wearing a wig of paper flowers and is in front of a backdrop I painted.

He's body painted him entirely using MAC cosmetics: chromacake, chromaline, acrylics, paint sticks, and eyeshadow.

R.I.P. Kim Richards nose.

If you watch the RHOBH (it's ok.... this is a safe space) then you know last night we bid farewell to Kim Richard's nose. Poor, loopy, dazed, rattled Kim.... Now that she's sober (?), her big priority was to get a nose job. Hmmmmmmm does having a procedure which comes with pain meds seem like a good idea to someone who clearly has substance abuse issues? Regardless I've always had a sick fondness for those pre-surgery images where the doctor has pen-marked their guidelines. Today's drawing is Kim with her marked snout. Side note: wasn't it fun seeing the return of season 1 Camille? She's been so tame and scripted since season 2 began.

Drawing of Kim completed with micron pens and indian ink on watercolor paper
