Lianne Moseley is a Canadian make-up artist who uses aqua-color to paint people as spot-on cartoon superheroes.
It's so great to see someone take a very specific idea that they're passionate about and making it work for themselves as a career. Lianne Moseley has blown up online since posting a picture of herself as the character Archer on Reddit. She now makes a living doing body and face painting for photoshoots, comic expos and any other reason people can think of to get painted like their favorite superhero. Think about it. There are a lot of reasons.
Let's look at some of her work, because daaaaaaaaaaamn, girl.
Wut.

Two in one.
Simple, but effective.
Trap ME in your web.
Was genuinely fooled by this one.
Another twofer.
Not a cartoon, definitely a superhero.
The whole fam.
Great work, Moseley! If I ever get married, you're doing the make-up (PLEASE).
