From showing your school colors to showing off for special events that attract the media, nothing grabs attention like body painting!

Princeton Tiger waist up indoors

Here's what happens when a guy gets inspired to show his support for his cousin, a silver-medaling Junior Olympian and leading player on the women's water polo team at Princeton University. When the Lady Tigers took on the University of Maryland Terrapins in the final chase for the Eastern Division Championships, Matt and his father conspired to show their support in a bold way...

Matt's dad, Tim, in search of a "body painter" in Princeton NJ had to slog through myriad online references to automotive cosmetics but finally discovered Second Look does just the sort of body painting he was after and quickly booked a session. Family and friends from all over the country flew in for this key game, and no one but Matt and his parents were "in" on this stunt. Tim made a special request for Erin to come up with a design to go on Matt's back that would echo the chant of the Princeton Tiger fans to "Crush the Terrapins." The design also foreshadowed the Tiger's win!

This plan was pulled off on what happened to be the very same day as Princeton's "Communiversity," a town-consuming annual street festival centered on Palmer Square opposite the gates of the university that drew about 35,000 people this day. And why park near Palmer Stadium across from the pool when there's a parking garage on the far side of Princeton borough? Why not walk through the middle of the town square, past thousands of Princeton students and residents and visitors and try to attract a bit of media attention?  Turns out, a guy painted like a tiger from head to toe is a magnet for newspaper photographers...

Well, Matt is actually from Yardley, PA, and he was supporting the Princeton Lady Tigers but... close enough!

Tim also arranged for Princeton sports fans attending the game to get painted! Paw prints were a popular choice for cheeks, some on a small field of orange. Below, one of the team's supporters outside the stadium that day who also opted to show his stripes in the stands. Cheek stripes were worn by plenty of fans but this man, in from Florida, specifically requested the additional matching "soul patch."

A gala fundraiser for The Arts Council of Princeton called "Pinot to Picasso" serves as the official kick-off to each year's Princeton Arts Weekend, with a wine tasting and art auction. The events of this weekend are an annual rite of spring, starting with this gala, which has been described as "the liveliest and hippest art-related event in Central New Jersey." Director of Community Relations for the Arts Council, Jeniah Johnson asked Erin to paint models serving as greeters at the event, creating a sort of interactive installation art at the gallery's entrance reflecting the gala's "under the sea" theme. A shell motif was painted on the face of the models as well as a matching necklace.  Above, a mermaid toasts the top of the evening.

"Thanks so much for all your help with the mermaids at Pinot -- they were adorable!"

Jeniah "Kookie" Johnson
Director of Community Relations

painted bodies at NY public library
Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is often filled with colorful people, but seldom does anyone find body painted models on the steps of the New York Public Library. Nor do folks often find a conga line of painted bodies tying up New York's midtown traffic. Details on this attention-grabbing publicity stunt for Cuervo Tequila and Erin's work on the body painting team at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square are found here on the Stage & Media page.

Spiffy Green Man in stage production
Sometimes a character in a theatrical play calls for body painting, and when you're talking about a show called "Green Man," there's basically no way around it!  Playing a contemporary expression of a mystical character that represents rebirth in medieval Celtic mythology, actor Spiff Wiegand is shown above at the make-up test, surrounded by his character's leafy green kin outside the stage door of Premiere Stages in Union, NJ.  Details on this production are found on the Stage & Media page, linked below.
