I was back at the NY Aquarium at Coney Island for an event this morning for the first in a few years, and that meant painting again some of the more unusual sea creatures we have worked out faces for over the years. We painted a significant number of adults as well as kids, and I was very glad when a men sat down at the end of the end and asked me to make him “spooky”, thus allowing me to turn him into one of my favorites, the Giant Squid — a face that just doesn’t work as well on a kid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s one of my “Every Face” videos of faces at the Aquarium a few years back:

 

 

And tomorrow I get to go even further off the usual menu of facepaint designs as we will be turning people into DNA, Isaac Newton, Moon Shots and such at our fourth year painting faces for the World Science Festival Street Fair at Washington Square Park.
