Australasian Law Awards gets some entertainment and wow factor with Human Statue Bodyart judge living statues at Sydney Town Hall...
The ALB Australasian Law Awards is the premier awards event for the Australian and New Zealand legal industry. It brings together under one roof more than 500 in-house counsels, private practitioners and industry leaders to celebrate excellence in the legal profession, recognising individuals, teams and companies for their outstanding achievements.
For the uninitiated, ALB stands for 'Australasian Legal Business', which is a leading trade publication from Thomson Reuters.
Last Thursday the awards came with some extra excitement and wow factor.
The legal world collaborated with the creative arts arts and entertainment world, as Sydney based Human Statue Bodyart created and provided 4 human statue 'Living Judges'.
The prestigious event was so large that it took up two rooms. The human statues were in the 'Vestibule' room, while dinner for hundreds of guests was served in the adjoining 'Centennial Hall'.
As far as we can ascertain, it was the first time that the Law Awards (or any other legal entity in Australia), has used human statues, living statues, or even done anything with bodypaint. From the excellent feedback received, it will not be the last time that the awards or legal sector in Australia uses statues from Human Statue Bodyart.
It's understood that Thomson Reuters was the prime organiser of the event.

The ALB awards recognise the key transactions in Australia and New Zealand in 2012 and the legal excellence among the firms that advised on them. The finalists were assessed against criteria including deal value, complexity, breadth and the degree to which the work involved groundbreaking, original legal techniques and structures.

2012 Brazos Valley Art League / Lone Star Art Guild Judged Show :
I already announced the news and this is the photo of my paintings. I got "best of show" and won a prize money. I entered many art competitions when I was young (my last art competition was when I was in middle school, quite a long time ago), but this was my first art competition I entered since I became a watermedia artist and I feel quite honored to receive many good responses. From the beginning of my art journey, my dream was to compete in major competitions. This is my first achievement towards my dream. My paintings won't always get well received, but I will never stop trying again. My Flickr friends, thank you for supporting and encouraging me.

An ad from Judge magazine copyright 1924. This was a satirical magazine published in the US between 1881-1947.
When looking at a riflemen magazine, an idea struck me, well two ideas struck me. 1. I wanted one and 2. I'm going to show my take on a taurus Judge. And well, here it is, the JS M.357, although it uses a smaller cartridge than the real Judge, which uses either a .410 shotshell or .45.This as the name suggests, it uses the .357 mag, with extended barrel for greater accuracy, and my unique stock that was first used on my JS M45 DMR and is slightly modified, the connector is new, the stock is partially blended and another feature taken (somewhat) is the foregrip, slightly modified to fit the design and features a barrel support at the front. The Judge is one of my favorite rifle designs so I decide to incorporate it into this. And when I have enough money I plan on buying one.
Thanks to Ryan R. Warner for the receiver, [ABA] Worlockfor the trigger, and Robbe25 for the pistol grip, oh and thanks to myself for the stock, lol.
EDIT: Forgot to credit Archkyrie for the sights.
