Give a child a marker and he/she will start drawing on themselves. Skin is probably everyone's first canvas. As a person who loves drawing a lot, I have been working with different canvas and mediums. When you have experienced with almost all kind of mediums, you filter out the ones you like best and work with it. But after a while you get bored, so its time for you to be creative to create your own medium. Painting with blood and coffee has been done by many artists, but not many did their painting with such strong connection than Vincent Castiglia. He is internationally acclaimed for his figurative paintings with metaphysical and often nightmarish subject matters. Castiglia paints exclusively in human blood (iron oxide) on paper. Castiglia's paintings are monochromatic tableaux examining life, death, and the human condition. Dominant work themes include the symbiosis of birth and death, the transience of man, and the pitfalls of mortality. But now he is getting into tattooing, ultimately when you have tried all canvas you will want to try skin.
