The woman pictured to the right in the photo that we sinisterly stole and doctored without permission from The Oklahoma Gazette's website is local artist Kelly Brinkmeyer.
Kelly's made name for herself over the last couple of years through her "breast paintings" – a Dean Blevins approved painting method that replaces paintbrushes with boobs. She practices the style because it's weird and different, and to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer research.
Here's how Kelly came up with the concept via The Gazette:
Brinkmeyer said she experienced her artistic awakening at the 2007 Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. She traveled to the event, which she called an “adolescent hipster’s paradise,” and was mesmerized by women who wore psychedelic paint instead of clothing.
Flash forward to her pregnancy. She wanted to document the event but didn’t want to use traditional photography. That’s when she flashed back to Bonnaroo.
She removed her clothes, covered her chest in paint and then did push-ups onto a canvas, leaving prints of her torso and chest. Her unique art form was born. That year, she launched Pineapple Rag Multimedia Artwork.
That's cool. I wonder what we have to do to get a Pineapple Rag breast painting wine and palette night at Night Trips? I'm sure the paintings will look extra cool with all the added glitter. I'll have my people talk to her people.
