Body painting, or sometimes body painting, is a form of body art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin with an airbrush or a simple one, and lasts for only several hours, or at most (in the case of Mehndi or "henna tattoo") a couple of weeks.
As with many of my recent fractal image creations, this image started with the KPT filter, "FraxPlorer", after which I put it through my processes of filtering, layering, color enhancement, etc. in Photoshop. The Face of Lorvious emerged from these processes, complete with the digitally embossed Bill M. Tracer Studio logo signature seal, small as not to distract from the design, while decidedly present, showing authenticity. As can be seen, Lorvious is of an extra-dimensional nature, having 4 physical dimensions rather than just our familiar 3. As a result, when he manifest in our 3 dimensional world, parts of him are visible, while other parts are not. When he moves through 3 dimensional space, loops of his body appear and disappear in what seems to us a random way, but in reality conforming to the natural patterns of 4 dimensional beings interacting on a 3 dimensional plane.
Enjoy the fun of tagging, without trashing anybody else's property or getting arrested.
Use simulated spraypaint, rollers, brushes and a paintball cannon on a simulated white wall, save your masterpiece and compare it with the virtual vandalism of others. While I haven't seen anything measuring up to the quality of one of the murals under the Illinois Central Gulf / Metra Electric tracks on the South Side, yet, I also haven't heard of anybody getting rolled over by the El after slipping while using this program, so there is that.
People seem to love it. Now, if only we could find ways for them to get virtually stoned, virtually burn down buildings and get into virtual fights, while settling for the use of virtual weapons and virtual gasoline before going to their virtual homes to make virtual babies before they virtually turn 13, Mom's old neighborhood would be a lot more pleasant on the weekends.
Not that any ambivalence about the concept of this page, or suggestion that it makes light of a practice that is intimately connected with gang territoriality (with its impressive body count), should be read into that. Pshah. Englewood is lovely this time of year.
We are where we are, and I suppose that's what we get to laugh about, for better or worse, even if an eyebrow or two has to go up along the way.
