Steampunk is a subgenre that incorporates a style of design and fashion combining historical elements of the 19th-century with anachronistic technological features inspired by science fiction.

In Luxembourg you can join one of the most huge Steampunk events: Anno 1900 - Steampunk Convention Luxembourg. Lynn Schockmel got invited to this beautiful event since their first launching in 2011 to create Steampunk inspired body paints in front of the public. 

Below you can see all art works from the most recent to the very first body paint I've done during this amazing event:

In Luxembourg the Halloween tradition and celebration is becoming increasingly popular in the last few years. The costumes and makeups are usually modeled after supernatural figures such as vampires, monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils.

Halloween is always a very busy and successful day for Lynn Schockmel. Each year she enjoys creating zombies, creatures and all that ugly stuff. Her makeup booth is installed at the bar "Rock Box" where she paints each stuff member of the COM1 group bars in the Rives de Clausen. Here is a selection of some creations: 

September 28, 2014 the huge Anno 1900 - Steampunk Convention Luxembourg in Fond de Gras (Differdange) took place again and attracted many people dedicated to steampunk and those who admire this amazing world. 
Like every year, Lynn Schockmel bodypainted a lady in front of the public and transformed her in a steampunk creature.

Lynn Schockmel did commercial Bodypaintings on a female and male model for JIMS Fitness Center in Beggen. Afterwards the models were walking in their painted promotional clothes in the streets of Luxembourg City to distribute flyers of the fitness center. It's an interesting social experience to observe the reactions of the people walking by. Some people don't notice the models being painted, some are surprised and look closer and others are impressed or even shocked. 

Two new articles about Lynn's work at the World Bodypainting Festival 2014 were published in the most-read Luxembourg newspapers: LUXEMBURGER WORT and L'ESSENTIEL. You can also read all other publications about her art HERE.
