THE GRINCH

The grumpy character from Dr. Seuss’ classic comes to life here through excellent body painting – a tribute to Jim Carrey’s iconic portrayal in *How the Grinch Stole Christmas*. Carrey underwent a true transformation for the role: 92 days in the heavy green latex costume, hours of MAKE-UP, and even training with a CIA specialist to master the mental strain.

Here, the artist captures not only the unruly hairstyle and gnarled skin folds, but also the mischievous glint that Carrey made so distinctive. A comparison: While Carrey physically and mentally strained himself, the body painting artist creates the illusion in less time – yet both share a passion for transformation. And who knows, maybe she’ll treat herself to a hot cocoa after painting to warm up.
