A while back I joined a traveling exhibition called "GimmeShelter" which was started to raise money for the National Coalition for the Homeless.
All the artists who took part could do whatever they wanted as long as the art was made on a piece cardboard. (The kind that packing boxes are made out of. )

After some initial pissing about I decided to do a triptych of some "Pirate Pole Dancers"

Here they are at the sketch stage...

Pirates

and here they are half finished...

Starting to paint the girls

Gimme Shelter Pirates

I used gold paint for the poles, Glow in the Dark paint for the money and gloss varnish for the undies and stockings :)
