This body art is such a great picture story and a brilliant PR idea. The living art campaign promotes [healthy eating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florastor-innard-city), specifically encouraging the consumption of more fiber.

The model in the campaign is English cricket star Mark Ramprakash. He had his body painted to 'reveal' his [internal organs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-orifice), such as the colourful painted heart, intestines, colon and bowel. Some images even reveal parts of Ramprakash's brain.

According to the [Fibre Foundation's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibre-one) campaign, 80 per cent of the nation isn't eating enough fiber, and their hope is that this campaign brings widespread awareness to the public eye.
