James Kuhn likes to paint his face. And I'm not just talking about a little gloss and guyliner. I'm talking complete transformations! In some cases he even adds doll parts, paper extensions and more. But there's no sense in trying to describe it, you simply have to see his self-portraits.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9jJ1QdFmYzwSYKKUZbfoBJrE6ffU9VX7uHOGWQBNYNnmg3syyGJqN4Ov6QlhOCiayRchbKqNkdcWEURIJKsFaAmqovGmfvFzfUA4fQzH_R1JzGMPBJFgQffCGMwogjpUvu-pjR2DwAFRk/s1600-h/Picture+11.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349826117374756354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9jJ1QdFmYzwSYKKUZbfoBJrE6ffU9VX7uHOGWQBNYNnmg3syyGJqN4Ov6QlhOCiayRchbKqNkdcWEURIJKsFaAmqovGmfvFzfUA4fQzH_R1JzGMPBJFgQffCGMwogjpUvu-pjR2DwAFRk/s400/Picture+11.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 460px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: just a few of his hundreds of transformations, also </span><a href="http://my.qoop.com/store/james-kuhn-190305354700115/" style="font-style: italic;">available as a poster.</a><br /></span><br />The following are a few of my favorites from his extensive sets on flickr.

And how could I forget Veruschka?* But it wasn't until I saw her work on the cover of India's Platform magazine, that I was introduced to Australian artist and body illustrator Emma Hack.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg47gMadu8yYw3rKtaKQiJB84FeeCFVlRDLEYvUAGDHe4vy_Xi39TMYjlQE1WwkGpsadLTY7lkC_XPZ7tfEZzUbzrHsSexhbEOphClMMqzUYXwMBBuq9mEgvxkBM7yJYDdG53cfJ7ZEjhny/s1600-h/Picture+12.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282284136767436850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg47gMadu8yYw3rKtaKQiJB84FeeCFVlRDLEYvUAGDHe4vy_Xi39TMYjlQE1WwkGpsadLTY7lkC_XPZ7tfEZzUbzrHsSexhbEOphClMMqzUYXwMBBuq9mEgvxkBM7yJYDdG53cfJ7ZEjhny/s400/Picture+12.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 535px; height: 354px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBbxlhT3sHneWPeFG3EQ2uKAmXY5dCQJqtR48lSXpLelPOnOqCRlqI12qnov7ZZPMN6casOZfexB_FIah9bi_8B6s7dhrYCSNeKrlFxe8j7mYm5NXzaPlJyfoq3wbdl18WAx5sLslEk5Va/s1600-h/Picture+22.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282294589143822370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBbxlhT3sHneWPeFG3EQ2uKAmXY5dCQJqtR48lSXpLelPOnOqCRlqI12qnov7ZZPMN6casOZfexB_FIah9bi_8B6s7dhrYCSNeKrlFxe8j7mYm5NXzaPlJyfoq3wbdl18WAx5sLslEk5Va/s400/Picture+22.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 531px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Above: The image used on cover of Platform magazine from last year that piqued my interest in the work of Emma Hack.</span><br /><br />An artist with several skills; sculpture, multimedia, photographer and more, I'm sharing images of her body painting for this post because it's simply amazing. Her work uses the naked bodies of both men and women as canvases and incorporates the backgrounds to give us the illusion of a flat surface in which the bodies are so well camouflaged against wall coverings, it's hard to even see them.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">About this stunning collection:</span> Emma’s Wallpaper 2005, 2007 and 2008 collections feature <a href="http://www.signatureprints.com.au/frameset_furnishings.html">Florence Broadhurst wallpaper designs</a> mixed with her body illustration. Emma continues to work blending her ‘wallflowers’ with the beautiful designs of Broadhurst.<br /><br />Emma’s recent 2008 collection, featured during the Adelaide Fringe Festival, features exotic Australian animals, nude landscapes and a continued collection of <a href="http://www.signatureprints.com.au/frameset_furnishings.html">Florence Broadhurst wallpapers</a>. Emma photographed this collection herself, evolving her talents further.
