Jedediah Wells, of South Bend, reacts as a couple youngsters paint his neck during Downtown South Bend First Friday on Friday, April 5, 2013, along Michigan Street. Wells allowed passing patrons to grab a paintbrush and paint him from head to toe, including his teeth. He referred to himself as a “living piece of graffiti.” (James Brosher/South Bend Tribune)
