At a Transformation! Facepainting event every face is different, every face is a creative work of art. The faces are painted so quickly—in three minutes or less—that this becomes a true performance art, as exciting to watch as it is to be painted. The story behind those faces and the methods employed to generate such creativity make a fascinating and valuable read for any artist. Here are the tools for designing new faces, for developing personal style and for painting creatively each time you pick up a brush. More than a how-to manual, this book is the distilled vision of an artist exploring all that is possible in painting a face. This is the art of transformation.

Christopher Agostino has made a thirty-year adventure out of the unconventional art of facepainting, from birthday parties to photo sessions for Abercrombie & Fitch. In public events at the world-famous Bronx Zoo he and his Transformations! company have painted tens of thousands of adults and children, setting a standard within the New York entertainment industry and transforming the idea of what a painted face can be. Facepainting is a profound art that reaches back to the very origins of human culture. Drawing inspiration from cultural sources—from the Amazon to Africa to the Chinese Opera—Christoper paints in a unique mask-like style with bold designs that capture the essential quality of traditional body art.
