body paints

♪ when will my reflection show ♪ ♪ who i am inside ♪ (upbeat music) - my name is joy taney. i've been a professional body painter for two and a half years, and a professional artist for six. - hey guys, i'm jade. today i'm gonna paint clark and i suck at painting but i get to paint my buddy today, so let's do this shit!

- my name is clark and today i will be the canvas. let's get painting. (beethoven's symphony no. 5) - 30 minutes? - you think i can stand still for 30 minutes? - you can do it? - nah, i think i could try. ^- i can't wait to see. - normally, this is the part where i talk shit,

but i know joy's gonna kick my ass. - y'all ready to get painting? - let's do this.- let's do this. - let's go! - this is fun, clark. i never though i'd have so much fun painting your belly. (upbeat electronic music) - ooh!- does that tickle? did i get you, did i get you?

i don't know if spongebob wears long sleeves or not. actually he wears a shirt; he doesn't even have spots... wait. ^- closing in on full coverage now. ^and then we'll get to the rendering of details. - yeah, same here.- yeah. - puttin' paintbrushes in paint, then on clark's body. (beethoven's fã¼r elise) - this side is giving me picasso.

my work has no, has no meaning. it can't be boxed. you look like a techno merman. - i've always loved the colors of sailor moon, which is like blue, and pink, and yellow. sailor moon meets shape of water. merperson. ^- i wonder if face id will still recognize my face. ^- five minutes.

^i don't know if i'm gonna be able ^to complete my masterpiece, but i'm gonna try really really hard. i'm thinking about changing directions, but i'm totally a pro, so. - you've changed directions like, seven times, jade! whoa, whoa, she's doing things. ^- i think that's when you start moving really, really fast, so.

- yep. - i can't, i have to move not at all. (upbeat piano music) (joy and jade groaning) - clark, you have really nice skin. - thank you , i moisturize morning and night. - [producer] five, four, three, two, one, done. - brush drop. whoa!

oh my god! jade, yours isn't that bad! i like it. wow. - [joy] so you're basically a space mermaid. - i like it. - [joy] don't think you're from this planet. - so i'm gonna have to make a tough choice, and say that i think the

overall winner is joy, the space fish. - and you did a great job for your first time, like, it's always difficult, and it's especially difficult to have your first time happen on camera. - man, i freaking sucked. i was not prepared, i'm just like: "clark, paint, body, boom." so i definitely understand now that body painting is not as easy as it looks.

so i actually originally came in here with the idea of paining a tiger, which is why there's a lot of stripes, and then he was like: "oh, yes, theme's under the sea." and i'm like: "damn, there ain't no tigers under the sea." (hinges squeaking)
