Or abcdefz.. (Honestly, I'm being nice in asking your advice here.)
My sister somehow coaxed me into going to see The Dresden Dolls with her on the 28th. For their opening act, The Red Paintings will be playing (I believe they had a hit from the film Donnie Darko, not sure.) They found my MySpace (which I've posted some shitty artwork on) through my sister's page and have asked I paint those participating as a human canvas (these people will be partially nude and I will be painting their partially nude bodies while The Red Paintings perform on stage).
There's benefit to this I suppose... My "pieces"/the people I will be painting at the show could very well be shown in galleries throughout Australia (they'll be digital photos of my work, of course). However, though I am quite lewd here most of the time, I'm EXTREMELY nervous about this whole thing. Sketching nude people.. Fine. That's all gravy. But doing such a thing HANDS ON??? Guess this could be proof I'm not meant to be a true "artist" and/or be apart of the scene.
What I'm trying to get at is HOW might I go about painting without either a) giggling like the immature 19 year old girl that I am or b) dropping out of it completely because I'm too nervous/shy? How do I OVERCOME :cool: :confused:
I'm an idiot. Shit away!
