Doodle on my Face
So I got a little carried away after seeing this 'Skin Graffiti' editorial in the new issue of i-D. The model is Jeisa Chiminazzo and it was photographed by Dusan Reljin. The inspiration here were Biba-esque swirls creating summer eyes like 1970's hippies. I don't know whether they used stencils or they retouched the swirls to make them perfect but it's damn hard to recreate. I got a bit Bourjois black felt-tip liner happy when I saw this photograph and so I started doodling on my face too. Except it went a bit wrong because a) my hand was shaking, b) I couldn't apply the right amount of pressure on the pen to get the perfect strokes. All in all.........I won't be attempting this for a long time because it's also a bitch to wipe off.
I also lack that freckled sun-kissed look that Jeisa has so I ended up looking like a demented goth gone wrong. Ah well......experimentation is the name of the game.
i actually think you did quite an impressive re-creation...
