Teri Wyble Body Painting's Top World Model
Teri Wyble for the USA has been named the top model of the World Body Painting Festival 2010.
She really is a great model understanding how to show, pose and "wear" body painting. In the words of the WBPF "What would be the photo without the expression of the model. That's why each year we award the "Bodypainting Model of the Year". The award goes to the model, that expresses and represents the bodypainting artwork the best".
Certainly Teri is doing something right, in 2009 Teri was the model in the photograph judges gave special recognition to (scroll down to see that image and read about the award of 2009). She has the smile of an angel person, a very sweet person. I am delighted she has been given this honor. Here's Teri is in a photograph by Micheal Genswaider and body painting art by Julie Fuselier & Lorie Hamel.

Body Painting - A Look at the Top 6 Festivals in the World
Dragonmen, Alien Mermaids, Fantastic Fire Dancers, Barebacked Santas, and even a Painted Labrador Retriever; you can see all these and more at the fantastic body painting festivals now occurring annually around the world.
There is a wide range of body painting festivals today. All include painted bodies, of course, and all include some kind of competitions; however there is a quite a range of skills and size among the different festivals, and some are more 'family friendly' than others.
Body Paint Bikini
Every woman's body is unique. They are like fingerprints. There are no two in the world that are of the same proportion or skin tone. A female's body is extremely complex and exhibits exceptional depth. A painted on bikini shows off her unique stature and ultimate sex appeal.
If you've ever wanted to have a swimsuit painted on your body, don't delay because you think it's a difficult process. Actually, it's a very relaxing and expeditious event that you are sure to enjoy.
Step 1
First, you would most likely seek out an artist who's work you admire. If an individual can paint properly on canvas, they can surely develop art on a woman's body. Get references of their work and compare shop with multiple artists.
Step 2
Be sure that you are comfortable with being completely disrobed and exposed in front of this person. If it's a stranger, then you may want to take along a friend and inquire as to whether there will be female assistants in the room.
Step 3
Make sure your body is completely hairless. A total body wax a few days before the session would be recommended.
Step 4
The day of the session, give any input as to what you are looking for. Let the artist know if you are looking for a traditional, brazilian or micro bikini look or an exotic design like scales and flowers painted on.
Step 5
Sit back and enjoy the experience. After the majority of the artwork has been applied, the artist will use a brush for fine detail and touch ups. The average application time is about one to two hours.
Step 6
Once completed there is a one to two hour window in which you can take photos or show off your original swimsuit design. After that time, the paint may begin to crack, especially if you are moving around a lot.
Getting a body paint bikini is a wonderful experience. It further expresses your body's uniqueness plus you'll have something to brag about and show off to all of your friends. Enjoy.

Brian Wolfe - Monster Maker and Dad
I noted for some time I'd get back to this blog as I do so love sharing body painting with the world - save the creeps that steal my posts. Oh well. I promised too I would start with my friend Brian Wolfe as he had just been in my area and we arranged a great class and sharing time with a handful of northern california painters. Well....... He was back. So at least I am on this...................
When I think Of Brian - I do indeed think master Monster Maker and Dad. Now Brian is talented in the use of special effects makeup - but I tend to think of him first as a face and body artist, then as one who also works in special effects. Brian works as a solo artist but is best known for working as part of a team with his twin brother an equally talented artist Nick Wolf. As an artist Brian's work has been featured in the most popular face and body painting magazines such as the current publication Illusion, and in face painting training books by the Wolfe FX and Face Art company, Diamond FX company and Impact. Good additions to every painters library.
And secondly I think of Brian as a Dad. He is a devoted husband and father. And that solid home front is something he readily makes note of, it clear how important that is to him. His family can be found at his side in full face and body paint.
As a body painter Brian stays true to his Monster maker roots. His works are filled with vivid colors and his works most often have just that edge of creepyness to them - or are just downright creepy. Always they are artwork that make you look twice. Here are some shots I took when he was here last month.
