Face Painting at the Tauranga RDA Gala & Ribbon Day 2010

Thanks to Karen Clarke, Tga RDA Marketing volunteer, for offering me the opportunity to help raise funds for the club as part of the annual gala.  More cool ways to help the Tauranga Equestrian Therapy Centre (Tga RDA), like sponsoring a horse or getting naming rights to a field (!) can be found on their website. 

Yellow crystal embellishments on multi-coloured tropical flowers - one of my favourites. 

Artist-gone-crazy!  This was a popularly requested design with splotches and splashes flung onto the child's face (clothes were protected by a paper towel) and texture added with a course sponge.  
We even made the paper!  On SunLive.  And watch for photos from the event this week in the Bay of Plenty Times.

Face Painting Photos from the ITM 400 Roadshow

The face painting today at the ITM 400 Roadshow was my first corporate face painting booking.  Previously I've done not-for-profit events where the customers paid $3 for a cheek design and $6 for a full face painted.  Today was a little different as the customer was Oregon ITM Mount branch so it was free for the punters!

There was a good atmosphere in the Oregon ITM building where, surrounded by stacks of timber and building supplies, locals got to see a V8 supercar up close, get their posters signed by a ITM 400 driver, enter a nailing competition (fastest time was 1.9 seconds), drive the V8 simulator and get their face branded with their preferred car logo.

Ford or Holden? Show your allegiance at the ITM 400 Roadshow

As the official face painter for the Oregon ITM 400 at Oregon's Mount branch on January 24, I'll be helping the punters express their passion for their favourite team by branding them with the logo of either Ford or Holden...

Add to that flames, embellishments and whatever else they might request, and I think there'll be some very sweet examples of my face painting walking around tomorrow at the Mount!

Come catch me from 10am to 12pm at Oregon ITM, Owens Place, Mt. Maunganui.
ABOUT The ITM 400 Roadshow: "The road show will feature an authentic V8 Supercar for fans get the feel that the driver experiences. There’s a driving simulator – and fans can see if they can beat the times set by Murph and Fabian. There are also displays, video footage, merchandise, tickets for the event, prizes and competitions, the magnificent Mark Porter Trophy for the winner of the ITM 400 as well as a poster signing session with either Greg or Fabian. The two drivers are super keen as they both approach very exciting times for the 2010 V8 Supercar season." Read more on the ITM400 homepage. And see the article on Sun Live!
