last night i was body painting in the lounge of KATSUYA in the americana shopping center in glendale
katsuya has a second floor which is used as a very sexy louge - kana curated an all girls show called ‘ladies first’ - she asked if i could come in and show off work. instead, i brought in a commission painting plus live-model body painting as performance art.
this nights models is the return of erica eng - she started her own film-production company by the age of twenty, and she edits, produces, shoots her own work. nick is also known as ’slick’, and you might have seen him on MTV’s america’s best dance crew or in music videos such as black eye peas or nicki minaj. kate is visiting from out of town and i decided last minute to use her as well.
my photographers for the night are the talented ZORRO YABUT! aka rodo riot and kerry lam. they are awesome! the following photos are by rodo ~
female + gemini + hippie artist = 3 types of crazy = you lose. like an asian version of frida kahlo minus the old balls cheating husband .
