HUMAN THRONE FOR NIKKI MINAJ
MTV 2015 Video Music Video Awards (VMA's)
I was asked to be a part of the body paint team to paint Nicki Minaj's black and gold human throne for the opening of the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. Five painters, seven dancers and ten hours of last minute changes led to our own game of thrones, but at the end we ruled the VMA's!
