A note from Marcela,

Thirty years ago I discovered a passion for face painting and ever since my life has been blessed by it in many ways. My love for the art, has taking me around the world teaching others, helped me establish Silly Farm Supplies as a retail leader in the industry and birth the Face and Body Art International Magazine and the Face and Body Art International Convention. All of my dreams have come true thanks to your continuous support. Thank you!

At the 2007 FABAIC, you were asked to give us the gift of feedback to make us more effective. We listened and have implemented your suggestions and ideas to make the 2008 FABAIC convention bigger, better and more exciting than ever!
The 2007 FABAIC was a sold out event, we were forced to move  to a bigger and better  location. The Double Tree Hotel at the entrance of Universal Studios in Orlando, features it's own convention center giving us plenty of privacy and room
to grow. Privacy to explore the growing art of body painting with a large room designated for classes, demos, exhibitions and 24 hour jams. You must be 18 or older to enter unless accompanied by an adult. This offers a wonderful opportunity to learn and observe the greatest artists in our field doing what they do best... blow you away with their amazing talent and creativity. This part of the convention is truly an awe-inspiring experience that no words can explain.

We added more hands-on classes, classes for children (6-12) and young adults (13-17) which include classes on airbrush tattoos, classes on money management, goal setting and customer service. Inspiring young people to succeed is my other passion and the one that fills my heart with joy I truly believe that attending the 2008 FABAIC is the greatest investment that you can make for your career as an artist and entrepreneur. We have designed our event to dazzle you and inspire you to succeed. Your registration fee includes the largest selection of classes offered anywhere, training provided by world renowned international artists, two extraordinary party celebrations (meals included), a convention T-Shirt, an issue of the Face and Body Art International Magazine Convention issue (complete with a networking directory of which you can be part of), an opportunity to shop at the largest industry based market place, lots of chances to enter your artwork in competition, an opportunity to network with over 400 of your peers and a goody bag full of surprises. Our gift to you is to provide the greatest value for your money and to teach you more so that you can earn more!

I hope to see many of you return and to welcome a lot more new friends. Together we can be influential in elevating the arts of face and body painting to new levels.
