These aren't your typical models!

At this year's World Bodypainting Festival, artists from around the world descended on Austria on July 5 to cover their "canvases" ie. models entirely in paint.

As this year's theme was "Pop Art," the artists got to be super creative and funky, transforming their models, who were nearly nude, into geishas, superheroes, mermaids and even the Statue of Liberty, all with vibrant colours and mesmerizing accessories.

Artists competed for prizes and amazingly, first place for SFX makeup went to Canadian Lorie Hamel.
