Sweet Sugar Skulls

I have a thing for sugar skulls some would say. I am not sure where or when the obsession developed, but its there. Maybe it’s the colorful designs, the eerie skull decorated with jewels and roses. Maybe it’s the idea of celebrating the lives of our loved ones who have moved onto heaven. Either way, I love them, in any shape or form sugar skulls, or anything dealing with Dia de Los Muertos or “Day of the Dead”.

What is your take on them?

This last picture is a sugar skull I designed myself and actually have tattooed it on myself. I only have the outline done, but I have more to go on it. What is your favorite type of artwork? Do you like sugar skulls? Yay or nay? I would love to hear from you!

fReAksHoW Birthday

I was asked to come do some facepainting for a fun birthday party at Central 111, which is a cute hookah and tapas bar. The theme for it was “Freakshow”, and it was pretty fun! Z104, one of our local radio stations was there to keep the party going. Executive Tattoo showed out with us and we all rocked the night!

I wasn’t able to snap any pictures, but luckily Abe-Hernandez-Photography  was there working and he was happy to let me share his wonderful images!

Hubby came out with me too and we all had a good time! I love when I work fun events like these! With the summer coming up, I have a few more events booked like this and I cant wait!

Which one was your favorite facepaint? I loved doing the joker face! Well, I love them all!

Thanks for stopping by and see you in the next post!

Day of the Dead

Yesterday, we did something special during class that we normally dont get to do as much and we got a chance to have a photoshoot at school. We partnered up, had to make story boards and then complete the look.

It took me forever to think of a good theme to do that wasnt too crazy or weird. Lately I have been planning what Halloween looks I want to do you some upcoming tutorials, but after walking around Micheals Craft store forever, I finally decided to do Dia De Los Muertos AKA Day of the Dead.

Take a look!

Her and I after :)

It was so much fun doing this. I have been wanting to recreate this type of look for a while now, and so I couldnt make an excuse not to do it when we had to do this photoshoot.

For anyone interested in how I did this or what products I used, I am going to make a tutorial on it, hopefully I can get it done this weekend in time for anyone wanting to do this.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a fantabulous day!
