Artist Natalie Sharp showed her love for this year's Record Store Day, and showed it with her skin, painting classic album artwork in exquisite detail all over her face. See the pics here.

Sharp painted artwork by some of her favourite artists on her face to mark the 2014 Record Store Day celebrations, including classics by Joy Division. Grizzly Bear, Kraftwerk and more. Sharp revealed that she painted herself so much that she made her face bleed during the intense session in a statement accompanying the shots.

"I decided to paint my face for record store day. After moaning that I never get the easter weekend off because Im always face painting, a friend Dan Conway suggested I paint my face as a piece of vinyl. I stupidly thought I could knock these out in a day. Three days later with a bleeding face and being accused of racism after posting my progress on Facebook, I had to stop.

"These are not my top eight albums, I don’t believe in that crap, but they are eight very inspiring and spectacular albums that I keep returning to. Each face took between 3 – 6 hours to paint. I cried after finishing grizzly bear, I thought it had broken me. I don’t use any stencils its all freehand. Record Store Day, here is my gift to you."
