Body painting festival

will be held in Austria at the end of the month. The event site has some colorful photo galleries from prior years. Are these festivals the modern incarnation of an ancient art and tradition? Is there a gold standard? Some works show great artistry while others, not so much. This photo has always been one of my favorite examples. NSFW - nakedness abounds!

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who enjoy making themselves look like cats and creeping around on all fours, and those who enjoy laughing at them.

I forgot to include this spectacular gallery of airbrushed body art that I nicked from iconomy's ever-fabulous blog. Also, this is an interesting gallery of photos.

I used to have a girlfriend who worked as a farrier (shoeing horses) and did body painting - smearing paint on her body and rolling across a canvas. Very fun, unpredictable results. She erected a huge installation on the town common in Amherst, Mass. The installation was made up of bodypainted panels, and formed an enourmous Tibetan swastika (visible from above) - I don't think anyone realized it was a swastika so - thank god - it was not misinterpreted I did one myself - "Earth on Fire". No time to post a pic now though. Dramatic. Non-toxic paints are recommended.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who enjoy making themselves look like cats and creeping around on all fours, and those who enjoy laughing at them. And the first kind are much more fun to hang around with.
