James Kuhn, Face Painter Extraordinaire

By Alex in Arts & Crafts on Oct 10, 2008 at 12:11 am



Photos: Thank you very MUNCH!, Wish Bone, I Know I Forgot Something, and American Gothic, all by James Kuhn (hawhawjames)

I am in awe with James Kuhn. The Michigan artist (and self-described drag queen, former nudist, born again Christian, and average 46-year-old guy … well, maybe not so average) has an unusual choice for art medium: his own face!

Check out the rest of his face paintings at his Flickr photosets (don’t miss the Moving Pictures video set, particularly the Flintstones one)

    It's certainly unusual. Something tells me this guy likes to be in the spotlight.
