After going to the library i picked up a few books which are really going to help through this project and get a really good knowledge of the decorated skin in which they create.
"decorated skin a world of survey of body art" by Karl Groning
"world dress" Frances Kennett.
This image is from the decorated skin book and it just blew me away! the pure detail in the body art is just unbelievable. he is a Samo fron the west papua new Guinea around 1969.
Yes I agree that the detail on this tribesman is exquisite. Have you conducted any further research on this tribe?
