I Painted My Face For The Love Of Vinyl

ADVERTISEMENT

I get asked ‘ why do you do it?’ ‘Do you make any money from it’ or ‘ You could be making money off this, why don’t you sell your face?’
But thats not really the point . In all honesty Im not so sure why I do it, Its just a compulsion I have. Its an unrealistically ambitious challenge I like to give myself knowing that ill likely not finish or end up falling asleep with it on after 7 hours. I become mildly agoraphobic after 7 days of not leaving the house, having conversations with Kimba ( a bulldog sized black cat) about the best way to go about tightening pores and getting rid of facial hair.
I suppose It’s extreme fan art , it’s a way of cajoling the worlds of skin painting and music closer together . Theres something quite cathartic about staring at your face in a handheld mirror for 7 hours, your face looses all its features, its just a mass of flesh for the layers of paint to adhere to. Then its recorded with a shutter release cable attached to a series of lights and cameras and the best part is destroying it in the shower. I always listen to the album Im painting on repeat until its done. Full immersion.
