I blogged about Natalie Sharp‘s AKA Lone Taxidermist‘s incredible face-painting skills last year when she tackled a slew of album covers painted on her own face. Well, she came through again this year with a new set of painted album cover faces. Dig ‘em.

I’m dying over the King Crimson’s In the Court of the Crimson King face paint. It’s truly spectacular.

Somehow I missed these amazingly detailed face paint album covers—done as an appreciation for Record Store Day—by professional face painter Natalie Sharp AKA Lone Taxidermist. As sick and tired as I am of seeing Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures album cover art—I mean, it’s been done every which way by now, except maybe for this way. Yup, Sharp did a terrific job with it.

Her face paint for Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest is mighty impressive, too.

I’ve seen stills and gifs (Kiss went viral) of James Kuhn’s bizarre face paintings but until today had not had the pleasure of viewing his videos. They’re extraordinarily creative and in some cases genuinely spooky.

Kuhn describes himself as “an artist, face paint illusionist, drag queen, performance artist, and full time Christian.” For the past couple of years he’s been creating a new face painting every day. You can view his work on his YouTube channel. Here’s a couple of my favorites:
