Once Banned, Full-Nude Body Artist Paints in New York City, Even With Kids in Attendance

You can see the children checking it out. Small children.

If it was my 11-year-old I wouldn't care. It'd be a learning experience. But what about a 5-year-old? It's natural, right?

At the New York Post, "Body artist paints on nude models in broad daylight in Times Square."

The peep show has come back to Times Square.

Provocative public body painter Andy Golub — who was tossed in 2011 for using nude models as his canvas — plied his craft again yesterday, this time with the city’s blessing.

“I’m a strong advocate of public art,” the Nyack painter said as he set up shop with two naked subjects on West 46th Street and Broadway, right in front of the busy American Eagle Outfitters flagship store, at around noon.

“No real law is being broken,” Golub said, adding that he’s “really glad” the city lifted a moratorium that allowed him to pursue his passion in public only after dusk.

“It’s not really about winning a battle on legality. It’s [about] the opportunity to use public streets. I try not to get too political. The art is the message,” Golub said.
