Artist's Comments

this piece was/is really important to me. i wanted a make-up ad kinda feel to it...and those of u who don't know, it's the logo of Chanel on her cheek, a prestige cosmetics brand.



the idea is from a postcard, but i doubt if that was the first time this idea was applied. it had a Nike logo, and was very different in style.



the image itself has gone through a lot of small adjustments, but the logo is absolutely untouched. it was very important for me to do it with such precision it could stand a close up look and no need for manip. so please check the raw 1:1 close-up here [link] :) (i used special wax, make up, fake blood and thread to do it)



thank u to `superkev for the support during this long process :lol:


she is Sanna, a girl from my swedish class. i knew she'd be perfect for this :)

//EDIT 27th sep 04 !!
sorry i realized the photo was in adobe RGB when it was supposed to be in sRGB :blushes: ///

a) no lie - i was just jonesing for a Suzi9mm new submission at lunch in the car today.....Nod

b) WOW! Jawdrop go you for MAKING YOUR SCAR! *inspiring yet again to do more*

c) the implications of the FACE being SCARRED with your need to show your BRAND of the marketable expensive makeup is just freakin' fabulous jen...

d) nice model - the skin is perfect for such a thing and the lightness of her helps it look extra scabby Giggle

e) great crop and well, it was worth the wait Worship

a great piece again - the idea itself is new to me

...a rather sarcastic view on some pplīs major interests, or better: desires

real beauty comes form inside, and you know that - yes, you show that!

Thanx for sharing, suzi, the shot itself is of high quality - good work!

You really never cease to amaze me. This is bloody brilliant! The marks look so real, the makeup was impeccably done and the coloring is perfect. IT really does have that makeup ad feel to it. Brilliant! Clap
