Lianne Moseley, a.k.a. Lustredust, is a skilled makeup artist. I’ve featured her work before, and her mad talents with body paint continue to wow me. She uses makeup to bring comic book characters to life — her approach to cosplay really allows her to present a look others can’t. Makeup can capture the art and feel of comic book art in a way fabric can’t always match. One of her latest works? The Joker from the New 52. She’s painted her hair green and applied makeup to replicate the face and the shirt. The effect is chilling. And I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to paint every one of those teeth.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
