So Paperself sent me some sample body tattoos and I had them hanging eagerly at my  desk for about a week. Every so often I’d look up stare at them, and think ” I’m going to save those until I have a really rad idea.” The thought would wisp away and my eyes would return to spreadsheets and productivity.

Then Friday, during a business meeting, genius struck. So Imagine this, I am on a phone call- actively participating mind you- while at the same time slathering my body in temporary tattoos and painting my face dramatically  with watercolor face sticks. Thank god, no cameras or screen sharing was involved, or I would have had a lot to explain. Or not so much. My work gets me.

PaperselfIt’s weird how I can so seamlessly do two things at one. My artistic and business side seem to operate on completely different wavelengths allowing them to produce equally good work of entirely different nature at the exact same time.

I’ve really never been much of an artist on paper and maybe it’s because I am realizing the body is my canvas. This will inevitably result in me justifying at least $200 of drunk purchases related to body paint, temporary tattoos and body jewels. JUST. LET. ME. EXPRESS. MYSELF. Paperself
I loved the reckless details of these rose and bird tattoos. I feel like my body is the secret garden. Hmm. That sounds like I am trying to make some naughty reference. Like it could be the title of sexually suggestive Katy Perry song. ugh. What I meant is that these specific design elements seem special, unusual and not something you’d cross everyday. Paperself
