The Human Canvas

Using one's body as a canvas has always been a common practice around the world. Tattoos, denoting positive or negative meanings have been prevalent throughout history. Some people consider tattoos as an art form, others as an insult to God.

The happy medium?


Having an artist paint your body for a special event or for marketing purposes.





This temporary display resonates much more deeply than a painting or advertisement on a wall as its medium is alive, moving and really cool looking!


Check out the amazing work of Dorota Buczel, a professional makeup & visual artist living in Toronto.

I recently helped organize an art gallery crawl with a nudity theme. We hired topless models whom I was given the pleasure of painting. (Or maybe they were the ones with the pleasure)

The goal was to have a solid black line across their chests to resemble the censored symbol commonly seen in music videos and in the image below.

Instead, my amateur painting skills made the censor line look more like a black bandeau top from Le Chateau. Either way, the models looked hot and the guests were happy. Very happy.

Stay tuned for more details on the art gallery crawl.
