Tyra Banks Show,
"Tava Promotion", 2008, Body Paint
My team did these body painting for Tava, a new Pepsi product. The body paint designs were based on the product artwork. We had to incorporate the product graphics & work around the bathing suits. The designs had to modified on the fly because we were allowed one less painter than originally planned for and we, of course, had less time to paint than originally planned for. It all worked out fine. We're used to being adaptable. The client was delighted. Life is good.
Here are 2 of the 6 models that we painted. Video here!

The cover story "75+ party ideas" features us at # 10 as
"DRESS TO THRILL
Forget couture.
Turn your body into a canvas and enjoy the reaction of your guests. Body artist RoByn Thompson has transformed hosts into jesters for Mardi Gras parties and painted pregnant bellies for baby showers. A full body canvas takes about three hours and surprisingly relaxing. "The brushes and sponges feel like a massage," Thompson says. Body artists can also paint temporary glitter and gold leaf tattoos. Think of it as body bling."- NJ Savvy Magazine 02/06 issue.

nycbodyart.com painted a pregnant belly
for a Japanese TV morning show. See more bellies at http://www.pregnantbellypainting.com/

We did the body paint for the David LaChappell Remy Martin Launch in NYC. The models were painted with themes from the packaging.
