Jim Painting Booker Edgerson

For the past 20-some years, The Buffalo Bills Football Team has commissioned Jim to paint their 'Wall of Fame' player of the year. This year, it was old-timer Booker Edgerson. Our customers seem to enjoy watching them come to life in our in-store studio.

Massimo Polello

Thank you, Theresa Cashmore for sharing this amazing inspirational video. It's given us many ideas for The Liquitex Freestyle Brushes! and The Splatter Brushes! Massimo Pollelo's work is beautifully designed and so textural...he certainly makes it look so easy ;-)

Paul Hooker ~Selected Portraits

Don't forget to check out Paul Hooker's Amazing Portraits at Art by the Sea.

We were more than just a bit fashionably late but were able to catch Paul and have a nice chat and view his beautiful work. Paul's newest paintings are fresh and fun to look at!

Good sport, Trish Currie from Jasco, let's Devon paint her into a Tiger.

Jim's turn!

The General Manager of Snazaroo sharing painting tips.

We all had 15 minutes to make our partners into Tigers using a photo "recipe".

Voila!

The finished Streak of Tigers...Grrrrr.

Then, we all got to look through the Snazaroo Book and choose our next character.

Woof!

Thanks SNAZAROO for a wonderfully, fun evening.

Snazaroo was established in 1989 and has grown from its modest roots supplying fancy dress hire shops to become the world's leading maker of water-based face and body paints. Today its UK factory creates and supplies hand-made face and body paints to over 20 countries around the world. We are currently stocking most of the Snazaroo line available to us in New Zealand.

Have fun!!
