Paint it: Jossy.
I was reading Hip Hop Soul a week or so ago. In it was the following picture (in its unedited form):
My first thought after reading the article?
Joss and I should hook up. I bet she'd like me.
My second thought?
That is hot.
I got reminded of this today, when I was browsing some online music released in 07. I didnt realize until now that the picture from Hip Hop Soul was the cover of Joss's new album.
Of course, this all started my brain wandering. And you know what I really liked about this picture? What it really made me think of?
Man, I want to paint a woman.
And by this, I dont mean paint a picture of a woman. I mean, paint on a woman. With brushes. With my hands. Exploring her. Describing her. Creating something on her. About her. Especially if she would let me photograph her afterwards.
I think this would be one part of a phenomenal date for me. As in:
-
Sit down at home for a nice candelit dinner. (I could cook it)
-
Afterwards, go back to my bedroom, already prepped
-
Break out the paints, and spend a tantalizing hour or two just being creative
-
Spend another hour photographing the results.
And of course, there is only one direction for this to go from here.
I remember dating a woman who let me draw on her once. Actually, I snuck up on her while she was messing around on the computer. I had a blue sharpie in hand and an evil grin on my face. I started drawing on her shoulder. It started as a simple doodle. But in a little bit, I turned it into a dragon's eye. Then I broke out the nice silver sparkly pen and added some accents.
So Fun!
I need to do something like that again...
Side note, one of my other favorite pics of Joss:
Love her hair. But I have always had a special place for more alternativey looks and styles (like women with tatoos - total turn on). Also dig her expression
Not to mention, the composition of this piece is fantabulous!

Did I tell you I have a tattoo?
And I like paint...
Did you say candelit dinner? And you're cooking?
I know some guy has been featured doing this at a local club recently (I think it was at a swingers club and he was painting on nude women).
If I looked as hot as Joss Stone, unpainted, I'd surely volunteer. I've always wanted to have this done to me. Interesting possibility for my trip to SF in December - the friend meeting me there is a painter. Hmmmm.
GOOD LUCK - and remember... PICTURES
Of course I would cook...
I even have a few recipes that are intriguing me right now (from Food&Wine and Delicious).
You didnt tell me you had a tatoo until now. I think that warrants a ...
VOX HUNT: Show us brinann's tatoo.
Yes. I have been painted on. Just my back. Dammit it feels good.
Good line! ;) I am so excited about getting my tattoo... :))
And btw you were right about the mischief on my vox!
Am still in the process of deciding what I want. For years as long as I remember I want a butterfly, which is kinda apt after my post today about escaping a cocoonn, but not in the usual "girly" style I don't think... not sure. Not pastely or anything, it's got to be unique. I want elements or symbolic meanings incorporated somehow into a design that represents my sons possibly as well...
Not sure where to have it yet. I wish I could draw what I want... humpf.
Our friend Jay here seems to be a bit on the artistic side. Maybe he could sketch you something.
You here that Jay? Hmmm? Pretty please with sugar and cherries on top? Oh, and don't forget the whipped cream ;)
Or maybe when we both fly in you can just paint it on her, then we'll all go to a tattoo shop together to get it done permanently. :)
Hrm. Not girly style? I think you need to avoid the standard rounded butterfly style then. After all of one minute google searching, I would say that this image gives a good starting direction ...

You should start by making a list for each of your sons. Think of words and ideas that encapsulate them. This wil give you more ways to communicate with an artist, what you want.
Another reference photo for a different direction:

This actually made me think of a style idea. Painterly Tattoos. Oddly enough, there are artists already doing this! (Google search painterly, then painterly tattoos).
You sound fab! What a cool idea... Jay you game?! ;)
You are definately going in the right direction, I love the idea of the Painterly tattoo actually, love the colours in that last link, but not sure I want something quite so colourful. I don't know really...
I will def. do a list of things for my sons... at the moment, noisy, smelly, poo, and biscuits springs to mind!!
