Australian body art is being taken to an out-of-this-world new level. But seeing is believing. The idea is to use the body as its three-dimensional canvas. From face painting and special FX, through to airbrushing, surf and skate graphic art and wearable art made from recycled materials there’s plenty of ways to be creative.
