\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every once in a while I like to interview those people who are “behind the scenes” of cosplay.\u00a0 Today’s interview is one of those times.\u00a0 I discovered G Wayne’s talents through a cosplayer I am interviewed for the site.\u00a0 You see, G Wayne is a body painter, a very talented one at that.\u00a0 I asked him if he was willing to do an interview and here we are.\u00a0 So, sit back and relax as we dive in the mind of G Wayne.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Who are you and where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Gary Wayne, I’m originally from Louisville Kentucky and moved here to Orlando Florida when I was about 5 and have lived here ever since.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. What made you get into the art form known as body painting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve always been Into art. Specifically airbrushing, and body painting has always been amazing to me and I finally was able to get Into it full swing about a year ago.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. I saw a sneak of a Nightcrawler cosplay that you did with our friend Ivy Cosplay, whose idea was that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nightcrawler with Ivy cosplay was my idea and she was able to make really nice gloves boots and a tail to go along with that shoot. Edited pics should be out soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. On average, how long does it take to body paint a cosplayer before a shoot?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Average paint time ranges from hour and a half to three\u00a0 and a half. The bumble bee shoot I did took about 4 hours to paint.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Where can my readers see your art?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Readers can check my Facebook at Facebook.com\/Gwayneart<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m also on Instagram at Gwayneart\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
Plus I have a store that showcases my art as well at www.gwayneart.storenvy.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

6. Do you have anything you would like to promote right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be opening a online shop soon to sell prints. But if anyone is interested in prints now they can message me on Facebook and I can get them the prints they want.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. What is your favorite project that you have done?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So far my favorite project is the bumble bee I’ve done because I really like the detail work.\u00a0 I’m in the process of arranging an Optimus prime and Megatron to make it a set. Optimus Prime will be done first with Megatron second.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. What are your plans for the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plans as of right now are to start doing a few more non-cosplay shoots, not that cosplay is a bad thing I just don’t want to be known as just a cosplay body painter. Shoots in the works other then Optimus and Megatron are a group shoot with all the different iron man suits, black light shoot with sugar skulls and elements earth wind fire and water and a few animal shoots with a lion and iguana.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
