Filippo Ioco's Life in Color To understand the worldwide reach of Filippo Ioco's work, you have only to look at the pictures and sketches in this article. They are colorful, humorous, imaginative, unforgettably beautiful. Ioco has painted swimsuits on models, created a nymph in a forest, and, in one photo, matched a painted yellow-white pattern on a man's body to that of the snake that curls around his neck. Ioco talks about how he became a body painter and about balancing commercial work, print sales, and live body painting.

Scott Andrews All eyes were on Hilary Swank on Oscar night. Of course, she took home the Best Actress award for her role in Million Dollar Baby.
