NYC Bodypainting Day 2015

Bodypainting Day 2015 was a spectacular celebration of art! What better way to bring art to life than to paint it on a human body.

We started out the day at Daj Hammerskjold Plaza at noon.

We spent the afternoon painting our models, meeting other artists, and answering questions from spectators. The theme of this year’s event was “What the world needs now…”. It was intentionally vague to give the artists lots of room for expression. My interpretation of the theme is: “What the world needs now is…clean water.”

After painting, we paraded to the United Nations, boarded double-decker buses, and drove around New York City, sharing our art. We stopped at a few locations for group photos and had an incredible response from people on the street.

Coloring was on my mind after reading about the resurgence of coloring books and I wished I had something to color on my flight. So I drew something to color in!  As I drew more creatures and shared photos, my friends started asking me for a coloring book. So here it is! Order yours today on CreateSpace or Amazon.

Be sure to share pics of your coloring under #EveryoneColors so I can see your amazing work.
