Red Lips - What is Your Version for Me?"RED LIPS, What is Your Version for Me?" by Christine Tarantino, a perfect bound art book in full color, 48 pages of work by 42 artists from 13 countries. In 2009 Tarantino, an American artist, began applying red lips to her self portraits and continued to create small works on paper using 'red lips' images. In 2012 Andrea Mermer mailed Tarantino an altered version and inspired the call for entries from artists worldwide to create their own version.
