Nuba'of'Kau

I really like his spots they remind me of a spotty pot.or a leopard,maybe a threat to other tribes?

The tribe cover them selves in paint.The white ashes have got two meanings for the Nuba, a holy and a practical one. It gives strength and health, cleanses the skin, protects against insects and vermin and decorates the body.

Love the mohawk!!

Some Beautiful images here.one of the tribes men applying his makeup is fabulous he really looks like hes paying attention to detail...I love the first image it reminds me of a Picasso painting.

Picasso

I love the fact that it looks like hes painted then etched into the paintings the patterns he wants to create...much like tribal face painting.I like the playfulness of this painting each time you look you notice something new.

Beautiful markings on each of these paintings the first with her half and half face with the one streak coming down her cheak like a tear drop.the other with her rosy cheeks and colorful eyebrows.

feeling inspired by shapes i decided to create some of my own shapes.I used a face mask to create these shapes then painted into the shapes.
i like the look of this so this could be something i pursue?
