Leon....thats an amazing performance you and Steff put on there...look at the crowds you are starting to get these days. You are now going way beyond merely entertaining the folks on this forum, and it seems that you are practically doing "performance art" for the general public now.

The way your art is developing, you should consider to do what other London performance artists do....and apply for a grant from the arts council, cos I am sure you could qualify as a performance art troupe these days.

Just look at this example...of a similar wetlook performance art troupe that performs in Greenwich and Trafalgar Square and Somerset House. They call themselves "Factoria Mascara"...and they draw huge crowds whereever they go (plus the authorities give them permission to perform in Trafalagar Square...cos they are a recognized performance art troupe....which you could be too).

Just take a look at the Factoria Mascara performances in London that are on Flickr...and you can find videos on youtube too...

There is not much difference in what they do...to what you do too...i.e. entertain the public....only I bet they have a nice fat grant and financial support from the arts council to support their activities.

Anyway...great stuff....
