Day 246 - Russell County Fair Day 1

I know it is day 2 of the fair, but I am doing this to explain the day before since I did not get home until after midnight.

The first day was a blast and I had fun meet old and new friends. They were disappointed that I forgot my henna, but promised them I would have it today.

Others loved the new face paintings I had and wanted to try something completely different. I was not able to get photos of everyone, but the ones I did take show how much I have changed over the years.

Today is going to be a long day, and there is really nothing on Sunday, but I will still be out there, I will try to take more photos of the faces I do and If it is a little slow at times, I will make sure to shoot some video for the week in review vlog.

So here are the photos, the first 2 are of the new display boards I made! Until tomorrow, HAPPY PAINTING!

Sorry, I had trouble trying to rotate these photos, so you will have to do it yourself!

Day 245 - Start of Russell County Fair

Well today is the start of the Russell County Fair & Horse Show in Castlewood, VA. Come on out and have a great time and get your face painted! It opens at 4PM and ends whenever they want. The last day is Sept. 10th and I will be out there everyday.

Hope to see you there!

Until tomorrow, HAPPY PAINTING!

Day 244 - Tutorial Android App

I have created a face painting Tutorial app for the Android 2.2 & above smartphones and Tablets. It also includes my blog which gets constantly updated.

This is my first version, so if you download it, using the link below, PLEASE let me know what you think and how I can improve it! The address will also be changing soon as I am moving into a Townhouse that I will also be using as a private studio for body painting and photography.

Until tomorrow, HAPPY PAINTING!

Day 243 - Week in Review

Well the past week was fun and I had a blast painting smiles on kids faces at the Goddard School and the Birthday party.

Right now I am in the process of finding a new place to live and think I might have found one. I am going to checkout 3 potential places today and hopefully one of them is going to be available to move in mid Sept.

I am also going to be at the Russell county fair from Sept. 2nd - 10th and then I have a body painting to do on Sept 11th of Wonder Woman!

All this and more will be revealed in the next couple of days and more to come in the next video!

Until tomorrow, HAPPY PAINTING!

Day 242 - I Have Nothing!

I can't think of anything to talk about or tell you, so this will just have to do as today's blog entry!

Until tomorrow, HAPPY PAINTING!

Day 241 - NEW Hair DEW!!!

Finally decided to go a little wild and colored my hair Red, Purple & Blue! I should have followed directions better and did not wait for the hair to completely dry before putting the color in. The hair still looks good, even though slightly faded. I love it and think I did a great job for my first time and doing it myself! Take a look at the photos and you tell me!

Until tomorrow, HAPPY PAINTING!

STEP 1: Bleaching

Just after Bleaching!!!

STEP 2: Color

Hair is still a little wet and the lighting was bad, but you get the picture!

STEP 3: Fix the Problems I Created

Once my hair was dry, I noticed it was faded in some areas, so I used the rest of the dye in my hair and I am leaving set until late tonight. Should come out with some great High & Low lights.

Day 239-240 - 10th B-Day Carnivale

Due to some internet related problems last night I was not able to post my blog entry, so I combined it with today!

Yesterday I had a birthday party to do in Kingsport, TN and they had a Carnival Theme. You would have thought I would be doing a lot of clowns, tigers, zebras, etc., but in reality I did just the normal stuff. I had a great time non-the-less and am taking a break today and relaxing. Here are a couple photos from yesterday!
