Science On Your Face — World Science Festival 2014

Transformations_GridLOGO-Science

We were back at one of our favorite New York events this past weekend: The Ultimate Science Street Fair of the World Science Festival. I mean, where else would you ever get the opportunity to turn someone into a Higgs Boson? Or a Bunson Burner? For an adventurous artist like me, this is facepainting at it’s most fun. Here are some of my favorite faces from this year’s event:

: Higgs Boson

: Bunson Burner

: Einstein

: Newton and the Big Apple

: Earth Science Teacher

: Evolution

: Atom

: Our Galaxy on her Face

: Mars Rover landing

: Robotics

: Synthetic Human

: Climate Change

: Solar Eclipse

: Curved Space Time

: First Woman on the Moon

: Cave Art – painted by Phil

: Pollination

: Pollination

: Milky Way Galaxy

: Nebula and Octopus

: Nebula

: She’s flying Ben Franklin’s Kite

: Mars Rover

: StoryFace: Li Chi Slays the Dragon

: Chemistry

: Particle Accelerator

: Atom on a Science Teacher

: Turtles All the Way Down

This year the festival was focusing on robotics, weather and astronomy. I’m enough of a science geek that I love collecting the stories and images for new science faces each year.

NHL Playoffs 2014 — Face Painting Gallery

May23

nhl_playoffs2014_1-RangersStanleyCupSkyline1_140521_agostinoarts We did our first event for this year’s Hockey Playoffs at the NHL Store on 6th Ave. at 47th St. in Manhattan. I was there for the pre-game celebration for Game 3 of the NY Rangers vs the Montreal Canadiens at Madison Square Garden, sponsored by Reebok.

I don’t follow this sport, so instead of telling people the story of their faces as I painted I was asking questions —who’s your favorite player? How did you become a fan? — and using those ideas as inspiration.

Drop the puck!

Here are a few more from the second event at the NHL Store. I particularly wanted to try this “Drop the puck!” idea if I got someone who wasn’t rooting for either team, but still loved playoff hockey.
