Paint Me for the Naked Pub Crawl?

Hi Y'all ... Does anyone know anyone willing and able to paint me up shins-to-shoulders as Waldo (as in "Where's Waldo") before the Naked Pub Crawl this year?

I've done it 3 times so far, in 2015, 2016, and 2018. I'd love to do it again this year!
It would be cool to go this year with a professional, airbrushed paint job. I would bring my props again (hat, glasses, cane) to complete the look. The event usually starts @ 11:00 AM on Wednesday at the Man, so we would have to plan accordingly for painting at their camp and my travel time to the Man by bike.

Bonus points: I'm doing an article about Burning Man for The Naturist Society Foundation's "Nude and Natural" magazine. If someone can get a really good pic of painted me in front of the Man, it could make the front cover (with photo credit, of course)!

Here's a couple example pics ...

Hope y'all can help me out; thanks! 🙂

Sorry, I don't know of any and have not seen any posts from airbrush professionals offering to gift their services. If you use a smartphone I recommend checking out one of the apps (Dust, iBurn), and make sure to download the update they usually drop just prior to the event. You can search through public camp listings to perhaps find someone offering the kind of gift you're seeking, The camp locations are 'embargoed' and not available until the gates open, but once they do you'll know exactly where to go to hopefully connect with someone offering what you're seeking.

If you don't, no worries. Playa Info will be located at 5:45 & Esplanade, and they'll have all that info as well once the gates open.
