I drew some excellent Caricatures at the Prom this year ~ The Prom where I have been drawing for about 10 years already.

I don't have time to post a lot of them at the moment, but I wanted to post this one. Of a young man who managed to come to the High School Prom every year since he was a Freshman. I feel so happy to see him each year ~ he really enjoys good Artwork. And he did get taller too. My, how he's grown.

As did I. After posting this year's picture, I looked back through this blog and I actually managed to find the previous pictures that I drew of him. I'll post them at the bottom of this page.

Still playing with some ideas about the FLAT BACK TEMPORARY TATTOOS. First photo showing it freshly painted. 2nd photo showing it freshly powdered.

I'm feeling like I like the thicker lines ~ especially if I was making the Tattoos on men.

I found something that's even better than Mica Tattoos! They're called Temporary Tattoos.

I used to think that Temporary Tattoos were just little pictures that were applied to Children with water that takes off the plastic covering ~ dinky little things ~ I had no intention of getting involved with something like that. But I just found out that there's a type of Temporary Tattoos that are suitable for Teens and Adults ~ look almost like the real tattoos, but it doesn't hurt to get them. They last about a week ~ even if they get wet ~ like the Freehand Glitter Tattoos that I have been doing.

Made with a Black Body Ink which is specially formulated for Safe use on the skin. Applied with the same sort of supplies that I use for Freehand Glitter Tattoos.

My first bottle of that expensive body-ink arrived today. Here's my first attempt ~ just trying out the stuff.

The first picture shows the tattoo as soon as it was created. The second picture shows the same tattoo after I applied powder to preserve it better. The powder will make it last longer ~ even though it will look very Black again when the powder wears off or as soon as it gets wet.

and here are a couple of my Freehand Mica Tattoos. Flat. Black.

I like to bring along Mica to my Glitter Tattoos for people who don't want to be Wow Yay Glittery. Particularly some men who (mistakenly in my opinion) think that Glitter Tattoos are just for girls. I say this because I interact with little boys before they 'know' that Glitter is just for girls. And those little boys are just as Wowed by the Sparkles as the girls are. I wonder why anyone would want to discourage their ability for Visual Pleasure.

The Mica Tattoos do look cool. They look like Permanent Tattoos, even though they're just on the surface of the skin and they will only last a week or so.

Update July 2016: I no longer bring Mica for the Flat Black Temporary Tattoos. Now I'm bringing Temptu ~ a much easier product to use. Cleaner.
