Body painting.

Body Painting is a fascinating form of art that takes usually a team of people to create a  spectacular art right on the human body. Many artists create the most  innovative and expressive forms of body art in the world.
We have complied some of the best animal body art . Emma Fay from the UK, Gesine Marwedel from Germany and Johannes Stoetter from Italy are just of the artists that have taken animal body art to the extreme. These mind blowing images of body art will prove that these artists and their models are wondrous masters of Body paintings.
Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin, and lasts for only several hours, or at most a couple of weeks. Body painting that is limited to the face is known as face paintingIt is common in militaries all over the world for soldiers in combat scenarios to paint their faces and other exposed body parts (hands, for example) in natural colors such as green, tan, and loam for camouflage purposes.
Many artists work professionally as body painters across the world. Their work is seen regularly in television commercials, such as the Natrel Plus campaign featuring models camouflaged as trees. Body painters also work frequently in the film arena especially in science fiction with more and more elaborate alien creations being body painted. Stills advertising also used body painting with hundreds of body painting looks on the pages of the world's magazines every year.

Crime food.

A new problem of our times is 'crime food'. Criminal gangs are selling billions of dollars of fake food to supermarkets around the world. The food could be very dangerous. In Britain, tons of horse meat ended up in products that were labeled as beef. British police recently found a product that used cheaper peanut powder instead of almond flour. This could kill a lot of people. Infact in China, in 2008, six babies died because of fake milk. In it, there was fake milk powder.
 Gangs can make a lot of money from fake food. It is also safer than selling drugs. The assistant director of Interpol, Michael Ellis, told the BBC that food crime is very similar to the drugs trade. The British government said it was a difficult problem to tackle. It said that using technology might be the only way to beat the criminal gangs.







Bansky←

Banksy is a pseudonymous United Kingdom-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.

"We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves."
— Banksy, Wall and Piece

Banksy once characterised graffiti as a form of underclass "revenge", or guerriggla warfare that allows an individual to snatch away power, territory and glory from a bigger and better equipped enemy.
Peter Gibson, a spokesman, asserts that Banksy's work is simple vandalism, and Diane Shakespeare, an official for the same organisation, was quoted as saying: "We are concerned that Banksy's street art glorifies what is essentially vandalism."
Blek expressed a different perspective later that same year, in the documentary Graffiti Wars, stating:


"When I see Banksy making a man with a child or Banksy making rats, of course I see immediately where he takes the idea. I do feel angry. When you're an artist you use your own techniques. It's difficult to find a technique and style in art so when you have a style and you see someone else is taking it and reproducing it, you don't like that. I'm not sure about his integrity. Maybe he has to show his face now and show what kind of guy he is."
