Red Faces; including members of the Kims tribe.
Still on the theme of the "beautiful primitive", I've been completely inspired by the amazing photographs of the Mount Hagen festival in Papua New Guinea by Eric Lafforgue.
Yellow faces; including Huli wigman from Tari in the Southern Highlands.
I was focusing on the vibrancy of the face painting and didn't even attempt the incredible headdresses, some of which include whole bird wings! Those are paintings in themselves.
Old tribesmen; including Chimbu tribe.
I'm inspired just by the photo's (as excellent as they are), imagine what it would be like to actually be there.

I absolutely adore these tribesmen paintings! I love the friendly, jovial look you gave their faces.
These are fantastic. The faces you drew would be great without the make-up, but with the make-up wow. It is great to see some great work that is very inspired.

Amazing faces with beautiful eyes and vibes! Love every one!!!
Cool! I like them as a group. Great colors and such interesting patterns and use of materials (feathers, paint..) These are wonderful!
This is amazing work! What a fantastic subject to paint. The colours are beautiful and so are the people. I think you should paint the headdresses next :)
