Book excerpt: Sofia Bue is an internationally award-winning artist. Originally from Denmark, she now lives in New Zealand, working as a sculptor and SFX Make-Up artist for the world renowned Weta Workshop, best known for their work on Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and Avatar. Bodies of Art is a fine art book using the human body as a medium of storytelling. It is a unique collection of works, using the human body as the canvas. Unlike traditional fine art, body art has forever changing and undefined boundaries. A piece of paper has finite space. A painting is finished when the borders are reached. But using the human body, in all its unique beauty, has no limits; The canvas is always changing as the body moves. Each work combines a range of emotions; It celebrates life, and shows the wonder of the human body.It connects contemporary fine art practice with an ancient one, and it asks us to look at the familiar in a new way. Atmospheric behind-the-scenes images and thoughts from the artist bring the creation of each image to life, and give insight into the process. Written by World Champion Body Artist Sofia Bue, in collaboration with writer and poet, Ben Egerton.

This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 1005 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, tattoos have gone from being a subculture curiosity in Western culture to mainstream and commonplace. This two-volume set provides broad coverage of tattooing and body art in the United States today as well as around the world and throughout human history. In the 1960s, tattooing was illegal in many parts of the United States. Today, tattooing is fully ingrained in mainstream culture and is estimated to be a multi-billion-dollar industry. This exhaustive work contains approximately 400 entries on tattooing, providing historical information that enables readers to fully understand the methods employed, the meanings of, and the motivations behind tattooing—one of the most ancient ways humans mark themselves. The encyclopedia covers all important aspects of the topic of tattooing: the major types of tattooing, the cultural groups associated with tattooing, the regions of the world where tattooing has been performed, the origins of modern tattooing in prehistory, and the meaning of each society's use of tattoos. Major historical and contemporary figures associated with tattooing—including tattooists, tattooed people, and tattoo promoters—receive due attention for their contributions. The entries and sidebars also address the sociological movements involved with tattooing; the organizations; the media dedicated to tattooing, such as television shows, movies, magazines, websites, and books; and the popular conventions, carnivals, and fairs that have showcased tattooing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the people who've been delivering trustworthy guidebooks to every destination in the world for 40 years, Lonely Planet's 50 Festivals To Blow Your Mind will make your next trip an unforgettable one. There's something about festivals. Whether it's a giant, joyous party or a respectful honouring of tradition, a seemingly bizarre adherence to ritual or a celebration of a quirky obsession - a festival is a uniquely human thing to be involved in. We get together to dance, sing, eat, laugh, drink, dress up, light fires, take our clothes off, throw tomatoes at each other, roll around in mud - just about anything really, but we seem to like doing it in really large groups with bags and bags of enthusiasm. Festivals are life-affirming and take our desire to have a good time with friends and family to a global level. They continue to thrive because they ignite curiosity and help to promote understanding, compassion and a greater acceptance of other races, cultures and traditions.
