Wow, I'm wayyyyyyyyyyyyy behind on my show and tell here. Back on Nov 19, 2013, I was on a one hour show on the SYFY Network titled, "Naked and Painted." I was one of five body paint experts.
Thinking of changing my name to David Gilmore Expert Body Painter. Too wordy?
I'm having trouble uploading the video... will keep trying to post it.
Thank you ON MAKEUP magazine and Michael DeVellis for the seven illustrations in your Fall Issue. XO
Wow, I'm behind on sharing some of my work...... At the end of November, I painted a mural in Nidor Vapor Gallery in Venice, CA. It's a combination: vapor (e-cig) seller and gallery. Very Venice Beach. The area I painted is in the vapor lounge and as such, I created five large heads exhaling vapor. It's at 74 Market St.
Here are my blank walls.....
And ta dah..... here goes the completed mural.
Finishing up a custom surfboard. Painted the client's girlfriend on the underside of the board. I really do paint on everything.
I give you NeNe from The Real Housewives of the ATL sporting an awkward ponytail while reading someone about something. Read, read, read.......... Her library is never closed. You can tell when NeNe's delivering a serious dressing down as her right eye squints a little. That's when she means business. #slapme
The new season of the RHONY looks batshit crazy and leading that procession is Aviva Drescher. I saw a quick preview while on the treadmill at the gym a few weeks ago and I had to cover my mouth from laughing so hard. There was an extended 30 minute sneak peak this week on Bravo and Aviva has gone loco! I took a screen capture of her screaming (scream capture) and just did this quick rendering. It looks like the scream capture but not so much like her....... She kind of looks like a blond Sophia Vergara here.
No Superbowl for me...... instead I decided to sort through unwatched programs on my dvr starting with a show on TLC titled, "Buying Naked." Say what? Not sure how long this has been on but in a nutshell--- a realtor named Jackie has cornered the market on selling homes to nudists in some town in Florida. There's lots of strategically placed vases and chairs and bouquets of flowers to block frontal nudity but it's also butts-a-plenty. The nude part wears away pretty quickly but realtor Jackie and her more is more approach to makeup kept me watching. Here's what I'm talking about.....
That generously-applied eyeliner..... That eyeshadow gradation of deep purple fading into a shimmering lilac....... Those magenta cheeks........ And who doesn't love a royal blue gown paired with a fire engine red lip? I'm on-board and so I had to draw realtor Jackie.
You go Jackie! Honestly I don't know if this show has been on for months or if it's new.... it's double clicked on my dvr and I look forward to seeing what other combos she creates. I'm hoping for a coral lip with a kelly-green jumpsuit. Heaven!
