Now this is something else. Painter Jon Ross normally works with media such as oil paints, pencil, and charcoal. But when it came time to paint a portrait of Gwen Stefani, he tossed his palette aside and whipped out a few Revlon lipsticks instead. And you know what? The finished project is a pretty good likeness of the birthday girl! To check out a video of this cosmetics work of art, read more
So here's Jon, paintin' away with his lipsticks. I have to say, if he's this controlled and artistic on a canvas, I'd love to see what he could do on an actual face. What do you think?
Christian Dior
Timberland
Chloe
That is so cool.
1This video is pretty sweet but all the editing was a bit much for me. Also I'm not familiar with this guy so maybe being skeevy is his thing, but I would much rather have seen this in time elapse/ fast forward and not have to look at him creepily twisting up lipsticks/ smearing them all over his mouth a la "Buffalo Bill" in Silence of the Lambs.
2Pretty neat, but I'm kinda with menomena on this one.
3I liked it! Great pic, too.
4This is so awesome! Love it!
For Jon to use lipstick to make such an intricate portrait is quite impressive. Why would it be strange to see him put a lipstick kiss in the corner of the picture, since that is the medium he chose to create this work of art? I found it to be quite fitting!
5Love it!
6That looks like so much fun! I wonder if he sprayed any kind of protective coating over it to keep it from smearing..?
7Very cool!
8I love the fact he signed it with a kiss! I wonder, if this will be the new medium in the art world?
9awesome artwork. love gwen!
10wow and what a character
11Wow, that is so cool. I can't believe he thought of lipstick of all things to paint with.
12That's hawt
13I loved it! Great portrait, great medium! What a character!
14That was pretty nice. Good medium. Great picture. I thought the kiss signature was fitting as well.
15Awesome! Loved the portrait
16darn, youtube videos aren't working for me lately. >.<</p> 17
For him to make the painting with lipstick for a woman known for her red lipstick is so awesome. I love it and it is a great thing since today is her 38th birthday.
18Genius! I think it's amazing. very creative
19that's pretty cool! i agree the editing is a little weird, but i thought the lipstick kiss signature was fitting.
20I loved it! It indeed is genius coming from an artist who is known to have used oil and other mediums normally in his work. Amazing work, hope he brings us more in the future!
21pretty cool!
22thats awesome, he did a good job
23that's cool!!!!!!!!!amazing pic!
24As an artist, I'd have to say it was okay.
As a lover of Gwen Stefani, I'd have to say it looked nothing like her.
As a person who has edited/made DVD movies, the transitions were over-the-top and appalling.
25How awesome! I wish I could draw like that or have my portrait done!
26sooo cool!
27The picture turned out pretty cool, but something about the video itself was kinda creepy. And speeding it up would have been a lot better.
28amazingly beautiful!
29I skipped to the end but thought the idea was interesting.
