August was an exciting month for me as I had been looking forward to this years Kryolan Masterclass held in the beautiful Royal Opera House in Covent Garden ever since the invitation had landed in my inbox.<br />
<br />
After attending last years Masterclass I knew we were in for a fabulous weekend watching some of the worlds very best make up artists, bodypainters and sfx masters and it definitely lived up to my expectations.<br />
Here are the demos from day one and the evening fun! <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Victoria Lee</b></u> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up to demo on the Saturday was Charles Fox own Victoria Lee and although I didn't take any images because I was too busy scribbling down class notes I was really impressed with her camouflage demonstration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was an area I had never considered would interest me but it was fascinating watching Victoria add products and set them until a really black tattoo had been completely hidden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Products from that demo went straight onto my shopping list and I have vowed to have a try in the near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Kryolan UK Pro Team</b></u></div>

Led by Paul Merchant and with styling by Joey Bevan (check out Joey's design further down made from upcycled Buckingham Palace curtains!)</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Between them all they have worked on a huge array of productions, projects and shows including;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Number 2 of a series of Vintage inspired bodypaints that Cat and myself had designed to help promote the 2014 Paintopia Festival which was themed, Vintage Britain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This paint shoot was created in Cat's back living room up in North Norfolk on a very chilly February afternoon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Modelled by the absolutely stunning <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GingerKoneko?fref=ts" target="_blank">Ginger Koneko</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with co Model of our very own Al Peace (see images further down the blog!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We decided to create our version of a Vintage Housewife complete with real cupcakes (they did not last very long and were delicious!)</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">We are sorry to announce that the Paintopia Face and
Body Painting Festival profile has just been removed from Facebook
due to our bodyart violating Facebook's terms and conditions.</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">In the light of todays news that Facebook are to allow real video footage of decapitation to be shown this ban is surely ridiculous.</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Does Facebook really think that Bodyart is more harmful to the public eye than someone being murdered?!</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Back in August we had our page removed as
did the World Bodypainting Festival based in Austria and both of us
have had to start over from scratch with new pages with very little
or no bodyart on them which is hard when that is what your event is
about!</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Not only is this damaging the promotion of our events but it is damaging the careers of all Body Artists around the world. We are a visual skill, we need people to be able to see what we do to consider us for work and nowadays all businesses no matter how small need to use social media to promote themselves. </span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Here is a press release issued by the WBF in August to try and persuade Facebook to relook at its policies.</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.wb-association.org/images/stories/infosheet/Facebook-bans-artists-worldwide.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.wb-association.org/images/stories/infosheet/Facebook-bans-artists-worldwide.pdf</a> </span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">May I urge you all to please help us to fight Facebook in its silly policies on Bodyart and also its annonymous image reporting system by signing this petition:</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/allow-bodyart-images-on-facebook-stop-removing-photographs-blocking-profiles-and-business-pages?utm_campaign=new_signature&utm_medium=email&utm_source=signature_receipt" target="_blank">http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/allow-bodyart-images-on-facebook-stop-removing-photographs-blocking-profiles-and-business-pages?utm_campaign=new_signature&utm_medium=email&utm_source=signature_receipt</a></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
</div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">At the moment we cannot get Facebook to even listen to us but if we can reach 10,000 signatures we can take our petition (along with a lot of bodypainted models hopefully) to London to hand it in, surely then Facebook will have to listen to us.</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Many thanks for your time, please share this information as much as possible and help us to win the war against Facebook.</span></div>

Myself and Helen Elvins were lucky enough to be invited to the Charles Fox/Kryolan Make Up Masterclass to be held at The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden over the weekend of the 25th/26th May 2013.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
It was with huge excitement that we rolled up bright and early on the Saturday morning to make our way inside the Opera House and navigate our way through a maze of corridors, breathtaking costumes (accidently happened upon when we got out the lift on the wrong level) and finally past some incredible dance studios to the top floor where the Masterclasses were being held.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
After receiving a fabulous Kryolan Goody Bag we made our way into the Masterclass room where we were greeted by our very own Paintopia Instructor and Illusion Inspirational Artist of 2013, Mona Turnbull and also our 2013 winning Apprentice, Alison Bessant! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I knew Mona was attending the Masterclass but from her cagey messages earlier in the week I had just assumed she was attending to watch like me! What a fabulous surprise to learn that she was going to be demonstrating an upper torso bodypaint there with Alison as assistant! </div>
<br />
After settling in with a much needed coffee and biscuits and a catch up with the lovely Claire and Julie from Illusion and Liz Bylett too it was time to settle down and watch the first Artist at work which was Mona!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Two days at the Paradise Wildlife Park in Herts for a half term break of painty fun hosted by one of our fabulous Instructors Juliet Eve.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We should have arrived at 9.30am on day 1 but actually arrived at bang on 12.30 after a detour to ATS in Diss to get a tyre changed after a country lane pothole destroyed it enroute!</div>
<br />
<br />
That meant poor Cat was late for her demo and me for judging the
Facepainting Comp! Thankfully the lovely Liz Bylett stepped in and
judged the Comp that day for me alongside Gemma Horner and I literally
flew in the door just in time to hand over the trophy I'd brought down
with me! Nothing like making a big deal out of arriving!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the comp, Cat got to work demonstrating her fantastic glitter abilities with Jules as her very keen Model and I wandered around to grab some snaps of all the painting going on plus grab a much needed coffee!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was so much going on it was difficult to know what to go look at first although top of my todo list was a massive hug and catch up with my lovely friend Eugenie!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Riffat was busy hennaring Amanda's back with the most gorgeous design, Cat was busy glittering, Brierley Thorpe, Chloe Brady, Helen Elvins, Mona Turnbull, Fran Heaver and Angela Youngs were all busy bodypainting and heaps of other painters were busy painting up members of the general public.<br />
At long last I got to meet Claire Guest and Caroline Young albeit briefly as there was so much going on but wow, both those ladies are very talented indeedy :0)<br />
Also lovely to see was Nat from the Facepainting Shop (although she was in dire need of caffiene and slightly dying in the corner due to living it up the night before!Hehehee) </div>

Needless to say the afternoon whizzed by and before we knew it it was time to shoot to the hotel, get checked in and changed and then head back to the evening party for a yummy hogroast and to learn some merengue dancing! That was all fab but it was these guys tearing up the dancefloor with Gangnam Style that stole the show!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Day two was jammed with loads more painting plus another facepainting competition judged by myself and the lovely Gemma from Charles Fox. Boy was that tough!<br />
The theme was Something Watery and as soon as the next issue of FACE Magazine has gone to print I will add the pictures in here of the entries.<br />
<br />
Aside from that there were some more fantastic demos including a Drag Queen makeover on a poor unsuspecting male member of the public while his kids looked on highly amused! He did look gorgeous once Gemma had finished with him! <br />

And so two days of fabulous painting, fun and games all came to an end, far too quickly as usual!<br />
<br />
After reloading Helen's car (thank the lords she has an estate!) with the 3 MASSIVE boxes of goody bag items given to me from Charles Fox for all you lucky lot coming to Paintopia and arranging with her to come for a little holiday to Norfolk to deliver them, it was time to say our goodbyes and start the 3 hour drive back home!<br />
<br />
Next time we meet for most of us will be at Paintopia, eeeeeeek! The Festival is coming around fast now so I'd best spend less time blogging and more time getting it all fabulous for you all :0)<br />

A 6am alarm call was the start of a very long but fabulous day as myself, Cat and Louise our fabulous victim (I mean Model) set off in search of the Menzies Hotel in Cambridge to join in on all the painty fun going on at the first ever FAB Mega Jam.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After picking Louise up it was a short hour and a half drive to the hotel however we managed to encounter sunshine, rain, hail and even snow during the drive, none of which delayed us thankfully and we pulled up on site a little after 9.30am safe and sound!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
KJ and Liz greeted us on arrival and gave us a super Goody Bag kindly provided by Illusion Magazine and filled with fabulous goodies from all the Traders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a quick tour around from KJ and a much needed cup of tea, we settled ourselves into our very lovely demo room and set to work on transforming Lou into something very pink, very cyborg/alienish and VERY sparkly...just as soon as we'd got to grips with the bald cap we needed to put on her! Can't tell you how worried I was that I would snip her ears off, me and scissors don't have a great history!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Bald cap safely on we were ready to start on the paint.<br />
Paints used were Cameleon Thistle and Pink, Mehron silver mixing liquid and Superstar Purple Rain. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Whilst we were working lots of lovely Painty friends old and new popped in to see what we were creating and have natter with us too which was lovely.<br />
<br />
After a scrummy lunch laid on at the hotel and oodles of Facade's fabulous glitter all over, Sparkly Spacegirl was pretty much complete.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the fabulous shots taken of her and some of Paintopia Instructor, Erica Waffords gorgeous facepainting taken by James and Richard, the Paintopia Photographers for 2013<br />

Before we knew it it was time to say goodbye to everyone and head home, think next year we will definitely be looking at staying over as from what we saw on Facebook, there was much mayhem and partying in the evening we missed out on!<br />
I've just noticed too that Cat managed to being in the photos too but she was definitely there painting with me! <br />
<br />
A HUGE well done to KJ, Liz and the rest of the FAB team. They looked after us so well as did the hotel that we're not at all surprised to hear tickets are already flying off the shelf for 2014!<br />

Number 1 of a series of Vintage inspired bodypaints that Cat and myself had
designed to help promote the 2014 Paintopia Festival which was themed,
Vintage Britain.<br />
<br />
Mr Darcy was painted on location at Dunston Hall way back in January 2013 as the plan was for him to be our poster launch at the 2013 Festival.<br />
<br />
We were lucky enough that top UK Bodypaint Model Laurence Caird offered to model the design for us and despite the fact that I managed to stab him with a needle while sewing some coat tails to his underwear he has still remained involved with modelling at the Festival. <br />
<br />
Both Cat and myself were extremely happy with how well the plan of this design came together and turned out, in fact its been so popular that its gone viral on Facebook several times since its unveiling.<br />
It seems to have developed a bit of a steampunk following who argue with us that its not all paint, however we can assure you that everything except the pants is paint! <br />

Paintopia recently set sail from a blustery Norfolk across country to
the fair town of Dudley near Birmingham to join in all the fun and
games at the 2012 UK Face and Body Art Convention.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly Kerry had
to remain at home to keep the fires burning so I set off with the
lovely Cat Finlayson and a VERY full car rammed with all Cat's paints,
props and glitters. Good job we had no passengers as we would never have
squeezed them in!</div>

We checked into the Quality Inn opposite the Convention Hotel where it has to be said that Quality was in short supply but hey ho, it was a bargain price for 3 nights and literally only a place to lay our heads as most of our time would be spent over the road. All unpacked and with the lovely Helen Elvins in tow as she was staying at our hotel too we eagerly headed across the road to see who was about already
and were met with a wonderful display of fabulous balloon arches,
flamingoes and rabbits all beautifully created by Pam and Paul and
perfectly fitting for a weekend full of painty fun themed around Alice
in Wonderland.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday night consisted of some fun and games put on by Jo Sykes (aka Squeak) and I was lucky enough to be painted up by Juliet Eve...as a very fast and very blue Cat as part of one of the challenges! Hmmm! Another game involved Juliet and her team dressing up Pete as a Merman made of toilet rolls, he looked stunning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday morning was an early start for all of us with lots of Painters flitting in and out of the Retail Room all day inbetween attending classes by the likes of Lynne Jameison, Becstar Anthony and Margi Kanter amongst many others. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plenty of painting was also going on in the Retail Room with Becstar popping in to do a demo,Juliet and Mona busy painting away with Cameleon and Helen showing off all the Superstar paints next to us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was wonderful to catch up with everyone who had come to Paintopia earlier in the year, especially the lovely Julie and Claire from Illusion, Paul, Anne, Eugenie (love her and her great big bear hugs), and I had a great big hug for Lee too who sadly hadn't made it last May but has been a massive help behind the scenes at Paintopia HQ and is of course responsible for the wonderful 2013 Paintopia logo and many more to come most hopefully.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday was another jam packed day full of workshops and demo's again aswell as plenty of painting going on in the Retail Room. I took some time out and sneaked into the lovely Riffat's Beginners Henna Workshop and also joined in Simon Smith's Ears and Horns class. Both of which were time extremely well spent and great fun and have inspired me to keep practising both since returning home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got to meet Marco from Superstar who had travelled over to join in all the painty fun, chatted to Becstar about life in Oz and got painted up by the lovely Sophia ready for the party </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inbetween all that we found space on the side of the Paintopia table to help Angela out with shifting and promoting the fabulous Brian Wolfe Fundraising Calander that she has lovingly created. If you've not yet got a copy of this, why on earth not? Its packed full of fabulous artwork and is helping Brian in his fight against pancreatic cancer too. Get yours now from : www.coloursfx.com</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday night saw just about everyone dressed up amazingly in keeping
with the Alice in Wonderland theme and head in for dinner at the Queen
of Hearts Banquet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our table consisted of the lovely Cornish Crew - Nic, Pete, Mel, JenJen, Justine and Marie aswell as myself, Cat, Helen, Teresa and Flavio.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Poor Flavio was led astray by everyone and had to endure Justine pawing all over him with the toys scattered all over the table. At one point we had him decorated up lovingly with playing cards, pipecleaners and balloons!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He did get his own back though eventually and soaked Nic! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After dinner everyone headed onto the dancefloor where later on a danceoff materialised. After much deliberation the finalists were Margi Kanter, Pete and Roger and Pete was declared the winner judged by the amount of cheers he received.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Partying continued well into the small hours and many a sore head was to be found wandering around in the hotel on Sunday morning. The sure signs of a great party!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday was another paint packed day. Lots more Workshops and demos going on upstairs whilst down in the Retail Room Cat was hard at work on the Illusion Stand ripping up Laurence's chest and sticking feathers in his neck, Helen was painting one of the hotel staff up as a superhero type character with Superstar, Nic was down on the floor creating a comic book strip on Pete's back with Wolfe paints and Mona and Juliet were painting up some of the hotel guests with Cameleon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were some more demo's in the room during the course of the day and I had the job of modelling for Sophia Leadill-Taylor again who painted an absolutely gorgeous eye design on me in her own distinctive style. Little Jen Jen, my namesake and birthday twin also got Sophia'd:0)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly before we realised it the day was drawing to a close and it was time for Cat and myself to hit the long road back to Norfolk and somehow jam all the painty goods we had purchased in the car! We had a super weekend catching up with lots of painty friends and making some new ones too ;0)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well done to everyone involved in putting together the weekend, it was obvious a lot of time and hard work had gone into it all and a big thanks to Jo especially:0) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish there was enough time to put pictures of everyone in here that I spent time with but it would go on forever so below are some of my favourite snaps from the weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you've enjoyed my first blog and I've not bored you all to sleep!! lol</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every September we get involved with helping out our good friends over at NOR-CON</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and 2012 was the best so far. We had SO much fun!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NOR-CON is a charity event that is held by the Norwich Sci-Fi Club and they use the event to raise money that they then split between a few charities. Mark Dean who is the brains behind the operation and his fantastic team have become good friends of mine and Kerry's over the last few years and we simply wouldn't miss this event for all the tea in china!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Originally I used to facepaint at the event but this has evolved over the last 2 events to me doing a bodypaint and then getting members of the public to put at least £1 donations in the charity tubs for a photo with the finished Model. In 2011 it was a huge success with people staying at the event all day so that they could get a photo. So with the theme for Paintopia 2013 being Sci-Fi and Superheroes we knew we'd have a fabulous opportunity to showcase some superb body art to potential general public attendees at this years Nor-Con!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Paintopia Team for 2012 consisted of Jenn, Kerry, Vince Loudon - who is also a good friend on the Norwich Sci-Fi crew as he wears his homemade Halo costume at events for them, Cat Finlayson,Carla-Jayne Mitchell and Models - Penelope Wood and Stephanie Moore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also had the lovely David Cook who came along and took some of the fabulous pictures contained within this blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cat's husband Pete and little Finn, Alana, Melissa, Josh and Megan all came for the day out too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The plans for the bodypaints were that Vince and I would be turning Stephanie into the Borg Queen from Star Trek and Cat would be turning Penelope into a pretty Star Wars/ Avatar Mash Up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mark had set us aside a lovely area within the Holiday Inn, Norwich North and with Kerry in between us all telling visitors all about Paintopia we set to work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Vince had put loads of background work into creating the Borg Queen having spent lots of time at home preparing the latex prosthetics plus thank goodness he packed his airbrush as the latex on the headpiece was a bit uncooperative and wouldn't stick well so wasted quite a bit of time getting it to play ball. The plans had been to paint Steph with Cameleon metallic black paint but time was running out so we opted for the airbrush instead! Really all I did was do a bit of glueing and paint some gold on here and there, Vince was really great and I never would have attempted the Borg without him as scary is not usually my thing at all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cat was as usual pretty amazing, she just turned up, painted really quickly as usual, then put layers of gorgeous glitter all over the top and hey presto she had created exactly what she set out to do while Vince and I were still trying to get latex to behave itself!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The contrast between the two paints worked really well and were aptly nicknamed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Beauty and The Borg</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whilst we had been busy creating the bodypaints Carla-Jayne had been
hard at work in the general bar area painting up members of the public
for us. By the time we had finished painting just after lunch the place
was so packed you could barely move and the atmosphere was just
fantastic!</div>

Not wanting to miss out on meeting and greeting some of the celebrities attending this year we tried to head in the direction of the Signing Room - a journey that took forever as everyone in the bar wanted photos with the Models. Enroute we did manage to catch up with our good friends James and Richard from I Snap events. They attended Paintopia last year with their green screen and will be hopefully a lot more involved with the photography at Paintopia next year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally we did manage to make it through the crowds and below are a selection of photos from the rest of the event.</div>

Every September in Great Yarmouth the Quay comes alive with the sound of shanty singing and tall ships from all over Europe sail in for a fabulous weekend at the Great Yarmouth Maritime Festival. Its a fabulous event that attracts over 20,000 visitors across 2 days so we were delighted when the lovely Karen and Ernie Childs asked us if we would like to do a bodypaint demonstration to fit in with the Maritime theme this year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ernie and Karen run the Great Yarmouth Potteries and are responsible for
a lot of the demonstrations and exhibitions that take place at the
event. Ernie in his own right is very well know locally for being a
fabulous artist himself and we were very priviledged to have him attend
Paintopia last year as one of our Judges. He'd never previously
witnessed bodyart close up before and its fair to say that both him and
Karen were greatly impressed by the skills of last years competition
entries, so much so that Ernie did a painting himself very shortly
afterwards inspired by the art he saw at Paintopia.....I'm working on
persuading him to bring it along to the 2013 Festival! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After much deliberation regarding what to paint we eventually decided upon turning model David Smith into some kind of dead Pirate of the Caribbean,he ended up with the nickname of Dead Dave! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
David Cook kindly came along to take the pics for us so with a car full of kit, props, Paintopia info, full size Jack Sparrow cutout and our fabulous brand new mini moo cards at 6.30am on a very cold and damp September morning we headed off to the Quay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I set to work on painting Dave up inbetween numerous cups of coffee and standing practically on top of the heater as it was so chilly whilst Kerry was busy chatting to the unending line of general public popping in and out to see what we were creating. Lots of them were totally fascinated by it all which is why I find bodypainting in public so enjoyable.<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was only a partial bodypaint as we thought best to keep Dave's modesty covered with so many public about so we were finished at lunchtime and headed off out into the crowds of people to allow people the opportunity of having their pictures taken with Dead Dave.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to Ernie and Karen's involvement we had permission to board all the big ships for photographs and boy did we all enjoy that! Especially on the Norwegian tall ship where we persuaded the Captain to allow Dave to climb right up the rigging!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dead Dave also got to participate in a show with the Norfolk Military reinactment group and despite being the most lovely model to work with he got into character so much he made at least 5 children cry too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a brilliant day,here are some of our favourite snaps</div>
