Body of the Message

Sometimes a nude torso is all that is needed to create an effective Human Canvas, particularly when the purpose is to promote a cause or to advertise an event. One example above is a variation of the effective ad campaign by PETA in which well known celebrities pose nude to proclaim to the world that they "would rather go naked than wear fur." In this image, the message is superimposed on the skin of a nude model, taking the intent of the message to a new level. The second example suggests the power of the Human Canvas to promote a theatrical production. Since the musical HaIR continues to make a media splash because productions often feature full nudity, it seems fitting that a nude figure be used to "wear" the advertising poster.
