' I ’ ve had to put that desire out of my head . I no longer know days of the week , or even what date it is . ' I ’ m very disorganized , my van is a wreck , my hair is becoming dred-locked . Shaving my legs has become a luxury . Home cooked meals have never tasted better . And yes , I ’ m pretty tired . ' This lady , named Sam , was painted to look like tree bark , although it is unclear as to why she is carrying a gun . Todd ( left ) wanted to be painted into the Las Vegas sign , whilst Kelc and Becca ( right ) were painted as a wall .

Some have modeled in 45 degree weather , some have de-robed withing 30 mins of meeting me . 'Some have had to walk through National monuments in their undies painted up . I have a love for humanity more than I ever have ! Benji is painted as a fence , Natalie says that she asks her subjects to email with suggestions of what they would like to be painted as .
