Facing things differently

It took me a second to realize what this was, but amazed I had to continue looking at Batman and Robin, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Pop Art Blonde. Face painting was never like this in my day.

I see what he is doing there…but I kind of wish he wouldn't.

You know, the "pop art blonde" has a name.

Since he can only make one eye move, perhaps a better choice of celebrity homage would be Sammy Davis Jr. or Peter Falk.

NIGHTMARES 100% FUELED.

Thirding nightmares. This coupled with the wine, the asteroid posting and the first half of the horror movie Penny Dreadfuls (effing Megavideo apparently puts a 50-minute-per-two-hours time limit on video, so right when the killer reappeared, the effing movie shut down for an hour) leads me to believe I should stave off sleep for awhile.

At least he didn't post this in the AM. Breakfast should be safe!

These were pretty darn cool. The Klingon one sucked. He shouldn't talk.

These would look awesome with a little fluoresing paint mixed in and some blacklight.

There's a plan. We do ourselves up like that, gobble some shrooms, and have ourselves a meetup.

Humpty Dumpty. Creepy, but I couldn't look away.

That really messes with my visual perception.

Face recognition FAIL!

The sound of his facial acrobatics is really disturbing.

Got to love his self-description, though: I am an artist, drag queen, former nudist, born again Christian, average 46 year old guy...I attended BurningMan in Nevada three years in a row and it was amazing!!!

Yeah, that explains it.

You kiss your mother with that mouth?

Also, if this guy, in the middle of his little facial contortionist act, suddenly jolted forward at the screen and shouted, it would be far, far more effective than any of the half-assed screamer vids I've seen over the years.

I now understand clown fear.

From someone that doesn't wear makeup because I can never get my eyes to match, that artistry is freakin' impressive.

creepy and compelling at the same time...but that Humpty Dumpty one might actually have a starring role in the next few nightmares I have.

Flashing back to the Bjork stalker guy. No thanks.
