A man of many faces, artist James Kuhn creates some of the most incredible and bizarre masks ever seen. The eccentric face painter calls his creations "self-portraits" because he uses his own face as the canvas for his artwork.

The 46-year old artist is halfway through his project to create a design for his face every day for a year, which he began in March after he was snowed in by 12 inches of snow and had to miss work.

James got the inspiration from photo exhibitions of a picture a day. His 365 creations range from cartoon characters and animals to his favorite foods.

"I saw other 365's but they are self-indulgent or just plain silly." said James. "I wanted to take it to a higher level."

"Face painting is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in a long while!"

Based out of Three Oaks, Michigan, US, James takes his inspiration from anything, including children's games, and loves to paint on everything, including flesh.
