Andy explains, “We’re not taking over Times Square, but it’s changing the vibe. It’s becoming less about Elmo and Spiderman and more about freedom and artistic expression.” That is quite a different message for the thousands of people visiting New York to take home with them.

Here’s a new video from Andy’s studio – 2 Girl body Paint ‘Cool For Cats’
