At August's First Friday, Madelyn Greco and Scott Fray were spotted in Scuppernong Books with some of their models. Madelyn and Scott of LivingBrush Bodypainting have won many awards for their art, including all five "World Awards". The duo co-founded an international body painting competition that will be held at the Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday, September 24th as part of the Arts Greensboro 17 Days Festival. As seen in the above photo, their artwork is amazing. The photo below features Madelyn, on the right, with one of her models.
Greensboro is so lucky to have these talented artists. When you least expect it, one of their models comes walking by. At other times, like at Summer Solstice, you can count on seeing their great artwork. Madelyn and Scott also take commissions. You, too, can get your body painted. If you were to do so, what would your theme be? Learn more, here, at their website. In the meantime, mark your calendar for the September 24th event. You will not be disappointed!
I just checked the "17 Day" festival schedule but could not find any more information on international body painting competition on the schedule. As I am volunteering with Arts Greensboro today, I'll make them aware that they need to add this event. In the meantime, I looked up all the necessary information on this link:

This is so interesting. I've seen body painting that was a bit more risque but this is nice. I have a hard time understanding people who do this but I'm beginning to think that most folks have a certain exhibitionist side to them!
Thanks for your nice comment on Ocala this morning.

Such an extraordinary and beautiful idea. I have never seen art quite in this medium before. Hope there is a nifty and safe way of washing it all off when necessary.
