LIVING ART AMERICA - BODIES AS A WORK OF ART SIX

Living Art America cordially welcomes you to Bodies As A Work Of Art/ The North American Bodypainting Championship, officially sanctioned by the World Bodypainting Association.

I've said this many times over, there is no other event like this one, anywhere, at any time in Atlanta. Living Art America / Bodies As A Work Of Art is a visually stunning and dynamic celebration of art, expression, love, life and humanity.

Enticing top-tier talent to Atlanta for camaraderie and competition, culminating in an exceptional event showcasing art works created on the human body and presented live.

This unique show will blend live music, gallery art offerings and an exciting, interactive "audience vote" component, allowing all in attendance to weigh in on their favorite presentations of the evening.

Artists in two levels of expertise (Emerging Artists and Professionals) will create their best work to offer before a panel of internationally-qualified judges for evaluation. After jury presentation, the artists and model teams prepare for the evening's show, where each model is given command of the stage to make their one-minute presentation the most spectacular.

The audience will have the opportunity to vote for their own top pick, which may differ from the jury rankings. The competition will conclude in an awards ceremony, honoring the top placements, as well as the audience choice award.

There are lots of ways to enjoy this spectacular event! Come for the evening, all day or as a VIP! For tickets, visit:  http://www.livingartamerica.com 

Living Art America / Bodies As A Work Of Art will be held on October 3rd at the Georgia Railroad Freight Depot - 65 Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr, Atlanta, GA 30303

LIVING ART AMERICA OCTOBER 2014

The 5th Annual LIVING ART AMERICA is back and it's grown bigger than ever! LAA is now a three-day event - just because one night is not enough to showcase all the tremendous talent featured in this World Bodypainting sanctioned event. LAA is one of my favorite events in Atlanta and this year promises to be even more spectacular than before - if you can imagine that!

BODIES... 2012

I'm exhausted ... after a 14 hour day, seven of those spent painting, then waiting, then explaining my concept to the judges, then waiting again and then, finally, showtime.... I am in physical and emotional numbness... but oh so worth it! The 3rd Annual

Bodies as a Work of Art

last night was the biggest, most extravagant to date. Kudos to

Randi Layne

, the

Chelko Foundation's

Executive Director, for producing such a wonderful, energetic and creative benefit. Look for a full feature coming to

Style Mag VM

soon.

Painting Logan for FUZE Beverage

Model

Logan Robinson

: a clean canvas...

Fuze Beverage

sponsored a body painting event hosted at Park Tavern by Jezebel Magazine. "

The Cocktail Club

" featured three artists, including yours truly, to paint the bodies of beautiful models. The event's charitable component brought awareness to the

Chelko Foundation

- a non-profit devoted to the empowerment of women. This event was a precursor, of sorts, for Chelko's highly anticipated, annual event,

Bodies as a Work of Art

. [see photos]

I was chosen to represent the Fuze logo in my design, so naturally I started with it.

Because time was limited, I needed to take that into account when designing my work. Rather than painting/airbrushing Logan's entire body as I did for Bodies as a Work of Art, I decided to focus instead on several vignettes.

The finished piece. Of course, Logan is a masterpiece to begin with which makes painting him so easy. [And the envy of others!] Make sure and attend Bodies as a Work of Art in September and see what Logan and I come up with! Thank you

Randi Layne,

Chelko

and

Catwalk Productions

for all you do to make this world a better place.
