We are featuring a beautiful and original front cover design painted
for Illusion by Nick Wolfe. Nick's fascinating interview inside the
magazine gives us a unique insight into his life, work and
inspirations. While Nick is best known for his face painting, we also
feature his body painting designs and he tells us all about the Wolfe
brothers exciting trip to the 2006 World Body Painting Festival in
Austria.
Linzi Foxcroft is an award winning multi talented UK face painter,
with a very surprising career. Not only does she create the most
beautiful, intricate faces, she also works for the British army
producing casualty simulation make-up for training exercises. In this
fascinating article we find out how Linzi came from her life as a TV
make-up artist, to making up casualties for the army.
Step by step ideas are enjoyed by all of our readers, and we have a
great mixture to choose from in this issue. Mark Greenawalt shows us a
body paint step by step, while Lynne Jamieson will inspire us all with
an idea of how to create a very realistic horn or tooth. Our very own
Editor Claire shows us a simple belly art design that will be useful
for anybody starting out in belly painting.
