Face Painting by James Kuhn
An article by creator
46-year-old James Kuhn uses his face as canvas, to create some of the most eccentric face-paintings you’ve ever seen.
Kuhn says he has always been an artist, drawing in his oatmeal, as a child, but found his passion for face-painting, one day when he was snowed in, and couldn’t get to work. He is famous for taking on a project that implied drawing a different thing on his face, every day, for an entire year.
His “self-portraits” include different animals, foods, cartoon characters and pretty much anything you can think of. Kuhn himself admits he is addicted to face painting, always thinking about what his next design will be.
Because he found the first 365 project fun James Kuh decided to go through it one more time. You can track his progress and check out the rest of his rich face-painting portfolio on his Flickr stream.
Wow, creepy, But still… WOW!.
I find this amazing, and am especially fond of the KISS painting (grew up with them). I hope to see more of Kuhn’s talent! Sharing this link with my parents, who mostly do sculpture work, who no doubt will be sharing it with the many they know in the art world. Cudos to Kuhn – truly amazing! Thank you for sharing this Denge Denge.
