We are very excited to welcome back Christopher Agostino as the sponsor artist for Kryolan. As a dear friend of the FABAIC, Agostino has mesmerized us with his storytelling combined with face painting skills and as the producer of the 2009 Bodies Alive stage show presented during the Gala banquet.

Christopher began painting faces as a theater student in 1976 and quickly discovered how much he loved to do it. Since then, he has transformed well over 100,000 ! agostino's training in theatrical make-up combined with his experience as a graphic artist led him to my develop an original technique for quickly transforming a face with bold, stylized designs that capture the essential quality of native body art. His paintings expanded onto bikini clad bodies at Venice Beach, CA in the early '80s.

From 1986 through '88 Agostino explored mixing punk fashion into facepainting in the window of Unique Clothing on Broadway in Greenwhich Village, NY. In the '90s, the Transformation!, a company of artists was born out of his desire to extend this quality of transformation beyond the individuals he paints to entire events. In 2009 he Kryolan published his now acclaimed book "Transformations".
