Awful news from the body painting community... Brian Wolfe of the famed Wolfe Brothers, the paints I love and use almost exclusively, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Noooooo!!!! As a face/body painter and a cancer survivor, this really smacks me in the face. I'm going to donate what I can, and I ask that anyone who can, please, at the very least, pass on the news/donation link, and donate if that's something that's possible for you.

Words the Wolfe Family:
"Identical twins Nick and Brian Wolfe grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida and started their epic journey into the world of special effects makeup. They share inborn enthusiasm for art and illusion that has fueled their meteoric rise in the world of faceart, body painting and special effects make-up.They travel the world sharing their ideas, teaching others and helping them accomplish their dreams.
Brian has been married for 12 years to his devoted wife, Dara and they have an 11 year old daughter, Trinity. Both who are his life and biggest supporters.
Just a few days ago, Brian was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has knocked him off his feet and is threatening his life. While Brian undergoes treatment he is unable to work. His wife, who has stood by his side for over a dozen years is needed by his side now more than ever.
We are asking you to help the Wolfe family in any way you can. Any donation amount is greatly appreciated and will be used to help with day to day expenses so Brian can focus on healing and living his dream once again.
We also ask for privacy for the family during this extremely difficult time. As Brian receives his treatment, we will keep you updated on his recovery.
The Wolfe family is so blessed to have such caring family, friends and fans and is extraordinarily grateful for the continued support."

Cheating, Dishonesty, and Manipulation
This, loves, is why I've been gone so long. I wrote a book and had it published by Great Potential Press:
Cheating, Dishonesty, & Manipulation: Why Bright Kids Do It by... me. :D
http://www.amazon.com/Cheating-Dishonesty-Manipulation-Bright-Kids/dp/193506729X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415540503&sr=8-1&keywords=kate+maupin
Because, let's face it, everyone has gotten bored at some point during their school experience and thought "finding a clever way to get around this/do this differently/find the loophole would be more worth my time". I was one of those kids.
And now I've written the book on the subject. :heart:
Sorry Loves- I still exist!
Sorry my lovely watchers- I have been MIA. Like whoa. On top of the book being published (I'll post a link to it very soon- it comes out in a few weeks!!!! :heart:), I went and done got me knocked up and had a gorgeous baby boy. :heart: He's now 3 months old and I'm only just getting to the point where I can sit and paint my face for any stretch of time.
But my hubby went and bought me a phenomenal camera and backdrop setup- so I'm so excited to start playing with it, and to get back into this wonderful hobby with this wonderful community of fellow artists.
So... any suggestions about what you'd like to see me do for my 'welcome back' look
I am Alive!
Hi All,
My goal to post a deviation within the next month. I'm gonna hold myself to that, too, barring catastrophic disaster and/or the coming of days. ...Unless it's a zombie sort of apocalypse. Then I can just click some shots of wandering undead and post them, claiming them to be miracle sfx work of mine. BOSS.
So I'm scheduled to have the final proofs for my book turned in by Nov 15th, which is good news for every other creative venture in my life that has been put on hold so that I can get this dream ready and in the can. I can't share many details yet, sorry, but suffice it to say- I don't know how many folks here would actually be
Haven't Forgotten you- Getting Published !
Hi lovelies-
I MISS you. :glomp: I wish I had more time on my hands these days, but I've been working on a nonfiction book (details to follow- don't wanna spoil it ;) that a publisher has already said YUS to. So this year, I'll have to squeeze in makeup projects when I can. Sorry loves, I absolutely ADORE painting, and all my friends on DA- but writing and being an author has been my ultimate dream since... um... birth. So I can't let this opportunity go by w/out giving it my full attention.
This aint the last of me, y'hear me? It's just that projects will be a little... slowed. Don't give up on me, though. :heart: It's all wonder and gr
