Organisers of The Australian Body Art Carnivale will be launching the 2012 event on Wednesday 30 November, with a special live body painting session by world renowned body artist Bec Anthony.

In keeping with the 2012 theme of 'Under The Sea', Bec will be painting up a sea of colour using a body as her canvas - as with the many competitions each year at the annual Australian Body Art Carnivale held in Eumundi.

The model will be Tanya Young from Kingfisher Bay Resort (one of the sponsors for the 2012 event) and the resulting artwork will become the flagship image for 2012.
