Approached once again by the fine folks at Gawker Media to adorn their party guests in our inimitable painterly fashion we quickly agreed to zombify the patrons at their Walking Dead sponsored pre-Halloween event held at the notorious Box NYC.
Wash, Spin, Tumble, Dry, and Get Down with your Bad Self! That was the disco call for the evening in Williamsburg, a neighborhood that barely blinks twice when a local 24 hour laundromat gets transformed into a thumping laser-light filled discotheque. Party planning whiz-kid, Adam Aleksander, once again pushed the boundaries and buttons of the local nightlife scene as well as the relatively tranquil facade of Metropolitan Avenue by hosting a pop-up nightclub in an quite unlikely yet strangely accommodating local business. Curious onlookers gazed amusedly at the swelling crowd as the thumping bass rattled out to the streets. While earlier in the evening Matthew and Laura Lee proprietors of painted personages plied their practice on the model/bartenders.

Meanwhile, you can see details of our past appearances here and here.
Gorgeous burlesque performer Zoe Ziegfeld was one of the gregarious group of saucy hosts and hostesses that we demurely decorated for The Super Moon Party held at a most stylishly appointed artist’s loft in DUMBO.
Our on-the-spot make-up designs for Sara Ruplin’s Spring 2011 no name collective line were based on a minimalist approach combining the influences of both dada-ism and futurism with a classical mime aesthetic.
The tale of last year’s Halloween Danger Party at 3rd Ward is an infamous one in the artisanal body painting lore of 2nd Skin. It is a story of trial and tribulation, of a race against the clock, success against the odds, and an ultimate defeat at the hands of a blown circuit breaker.
Adventures in artisan body painting as performed and applied by your gracious hosts, the lovely, Ms. Laura Lee Gulledge and the esteemed Mr. Matthew Mikas, current residents of the Brooklyn Borough of New York City, this world's most scintillating and dynamically driven metropolis.
