The story behind these images is long. So I'll spare you it. :) The short version is ... still kinda long, but here goes;  A friend of mine makes her living as a face painter. She wanted to create a unique display for her booth, to go on her cross-Canada tour for 2000. First, we needed some really flashy pictures. Shown below is the result of two very long painting sessions, for which our models deserve huge thanks.

    Most of our source pictures involve at least two of our models actually touching as you can see in several instances in the final work. To get the final product though required a fair bit of tweaking, blending, and various other fiddling around. The final product was printed on 3x8-foot banners as part of the entire booth, and they do look rather quite stunning, if I do say so myself.
