Check the controversial video on my blog - do you think these girls were wrong for showing school spirit through body painting (clothed)?

ARKAngel is a Green Energy Consultant Too!

Did you know that asides from being a DJ & a body painter, ARKAngel is also a Green Energy Consultant? Saving the environment & leaving a green healthy earth as a legacy are a few of her missions ...

The Green Energy Act came into effect a very short time ago here in Ontario, Canada. Green has not only become super trendy, it really is becoming and morphing into a way of life for many. It has become more apparent and more important for all of us across the world to incorporate green living into our lives as we need to repair and save our Earth. The future, at times, looks bleak. We need to pull it altogether and show we care. Green is definitely a mutual connection for all of us.

It has been difficult to watch the demise of industry & its jobs here in Ontario as many people have steadily relied on such work for a very long time. The same holds true across the world. Green collar work gives many a new opportunity and while providing income, also educates the green collar worker about all the right things needed to be done in order to be green.

In Toronto, a small but powerful company called Village Technologies is currently making strides in the green world. With a recent trip to Pennsylvannia to visit City & State Officials to discuss greening up 900 abandoned homes and solar hot water heating systems for their pools, Village Technologies knows its stuff when it comes to saving on energy bills, and greening up your buildings. VT is also currently working on a number of co-op housing sites and other community related green projects. ARKAngel is a proud supporter of Village Technologies, who has the honour of being official bloggers for Green Living Magazine. Its Canadian & its fabulous. Click here for VT's blog called, "The Village Green". You can also find Village Technologies on Twitter under VillageTech.

ARKAngel will be creating a new series of Green Body Paintings, so be sure to check back often to see if the pics have been posted yet. If you are interested in learning more about green, or if your organization wishes to create positive partnerships in green & environmental promotion, please contact ARKAngel on her contact sheet.

Breast Cancer and Raising Awareness

http://www.photosensitive.com/cc/preview.php?id=470

Please visit the above link to view a photograph that is being exhibited with Photosensitive in association with the Canadian Cancer Society. This is an awesome honour to be asked to submit my work. I had the opportunity to work with breast cancer survivors, painting women with mastectomies and surgeries and I learned how valuable and precious life is. These women were shining examples of what it means to love life.

Take a look at the photos in the whole exhibition. These photos will be touring around Canada for the next 1.5 years in different cities. Thank you to all those who participated.


Cancer Connections launches at Victoria Park, Regina, Saskatchewan, at 12.30pm on Wednesday June 10.
The exhibition will be showing there until June 28. Then
July 15 marks the launch of Cancer Connections at the Forks in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where it will be showing until August 5.


Other cities to be visited this year are:



  • King Square, St John, New Brunswick, August 19 - September 3.

  • Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, September 10 - 27.

  • St John's Newfoundland (venue to be confirmed) October 6 - 25.

In 2010, we will be going to Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; and Ottawa, Ontario.


Please come out for the next awareness benefit I am participating in: June 2oth in Oshawa, Ontario at Memorial Park 3 pm until 8 pm and then at Big Sexy (nightclub).


Check for more information here: Shwatarded Show!


Many bands will be participating, along with a number of busquers, artists ... and we are featured! WET KITTY Paint Dollz (my girls) and me will be facepainting, bodypainting, temporary tattooing and more ...

Contact me for more info. Peace. ARKAngel

Hitting Back at FaceBook

FaceBook you really suck ... sometimes ... :P
Got suspended twice now in a month, holy shit. Had to appeal on the basis of evidence of my profile histories etc ...
HEY GET A GRIP ... BODYPAINTING IS NOT PORNOGRAPHY!!!
I still don't get how they can have all those applications like the tattoos, or kinky kink things with all those sexually related pictures and in comparison, my pics are so tame.
Big Brother is watching. We are Big Brother.
Facebook is a great social network, amazing for blasting immediate information and displaying our most intimate things ... I will always be an FB user, and no matter how many times they try to knock me down, I'll be back.
BUT ... they are also a bunch of dictators, rulers of their anonymous information highway, happily hiding behind their screens, picking and choosing those to go on the chopping block.
BeWare! MuWaHaHaHa
:) ;) :P

Keeping Up With It

April 25th at SubSpace - Bodies Everywhere

SubSpace, Toronto's hottest fetish club held once a month at the Reverb, was packed with latex laden bodies for their 2nd Anniversary Party. We had the opportunity to perform our latest "Body Horror Picture Show" and the roar was deafening. Video in the editing process right now. The Metamorphosis was a success and arkangelart would like to thank Master Craig & Drew. Teheee teheee ...

Charity Benefit

Coming Up is the Benefit for the Canadian National Breast Cancer Research Foundation on June 20th at Memorial Park (day) and at Big Sexy Night Club (evening 19+ event). Join me, my friend Ryan and his band Parklane (hot new artists moved here from South Africa!) along with the 3tards & other hot acts, musicians and artists as we raise awareness for this important issue.

I am looking for women from the Toronto area who are breast cancer survivors/patients who want to be painted for this event. Contact me.
