Taken by a colleague in Southern California, this photo shows a child who had a painful experience at the hands of well-meaning amateur face painters. Applied with cheap brushes, the paint was not cosmetic-grade & had been in storage for months from a previous event. A rusty coffee can was used for the water container. The volunteers didn't notice the boy had eczema until he was seen clawing at his face to get the paint off. He suffered because someone wanted to cut costs. By the way, this design was apparently supposed to be "Batman".
