I really admire body painting when it's done elegantly and artistically...seeing the human form as a canvas and using the natural lines and curves of the body is a difficult artform to master. Thought I'd show/share some of the more interesting and accomplished examples I've stumbled across recently...I think they're amazing and beautiful.








This one, figuring out where the body begins and ends is next to impossible..







Zodiac
























And here's a link for one that's not quite so abstract...lol:

Pink Floyd Back Catalogue:

(Mods: if these should have been links, sorry... I didn't think they were crude, though, or even sexual...but if you must, you must. )

Wow

Amazing work. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be to pose without moving for so long until the artist is done.

OMG! This are SO incredibly gorgeous! Thanks for posting them, Byron!

I absolutely love stuff like this!

Not too sure why they didn't have Aries, though....

Byron said:

I noticed that!

These are great Byron!


This one made me laugh...

Oh wow-gorgeous work, Byron-thanks for sharing.

I love this type of work-stretches the eye and the mind.

The sensation of having them squashed.

Lleena said:

Wow, those are truly works of art, Byron. You post some of the most aesthectically pleasing photos. Are in in that line of work (photography, art, etc.)?

Byron said:
