blacklight is my specialty.
Started blacklight bodypainting
over 15 years ago, no digital
photography, nobody knew
anything! Experiments,
failures, catastrophes
Success and applause
Challenges and fun
Tricky and Powerful
I love it
In 2005 we left the studio
create new bodypaintings
for the daylight, in Location
new styles & skills are learned
Metallic paints are discovered
Suddenly Cyborgs and Gynoids
I´ve had a compressor & guns
for years and never used them
In 2010 new paints come out
So much more easy to use
We started to experiment
once more, with vigor
you better watch out
A great headpiece can change
a bodypainting as much as
the choice of location can.
Fun things with materials
never intended for this
purpose makes the
best headpieces

Many little different tips and tricks
A good bodypainting follows a certain set of rules and some of them are based on techniques found in arts and crafts in general. Like a good illustration a good bodypainting pays attention to those rules and incorporates them to form a whole, a composition out of form, subject matter, colours and shapes. To achieve that Wolf will teach how to create a full concept, with references, how to build your visual library, mold it into a design and how to bring it all together for the final photography and video your project needs. He will assist you and teach you his understanding of the rules of bodypainting and when to ignore them. After all, they are more like “guidelines”, than actual rules. 😉
Robots, Cyborgs and Gynoids always had a big part in Wolf´s bodypainting. When teaching this class, Wolf will show you how to create seamless metallic bases in less than 15 min, create airbrush like effects without an airbrush and how to achieve those hard edge surfaces. He will also cover how actual robotic designs work and can be used in your creations, something he picked up working for an actual robotics company as well as a designer for animatronic puppets. He will show you how to use the body of your model to power the bodypainting and how you can anatomy and technology can be combined into believable robotic bodypaintings.
