# World’s Largest Painting: Bikini Lines

I just fell from my chair. Toronto-born, Tokyo-based entrepreneur, occasional artist and almost architect **Christian Forestell** (here a short [interview](http://www.underworldmagazines.com/interview-with-christian-forestell-from-bikinilines-net/)) is right away starting the world’s largest painting project entitled *Bikini Lines* to benefit children orphaned in the 2011 Fukushima disaster!


## Bikini Lines - The Cactus Dome Painting


*Bikini Lines* is a proposed massive, mixed media project inspired by a lack of standardized nuclear disaster reporting, in particular the panic that set in over Tokyo following the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent meltdown. Based on crowd-funding, the project’s main focus is on painting the huge [Cactus Dome](http://atlasobscura.com/place/cactus-dome) on the Marshall Islands, an enormous, foot-and-a-half-thick, 107m wide dome consisting of 358 gigantic concrete panels built over a nuclear crater, seriously!

Therefore, Christian is searching for artists, videographers, photographers and writers to paint, document and cover the event live. And of course the crowd-funded project is searching for supporters, so make sure to form your own opinion about [this unbelievable project](http://www.bikinilines.net)!

Sounds like a great idea and it’s probably a great chance to visit some South Pacific atolls. Their IndiGoGo campaign launches February 1st - I’ll keep you posted!

**Update:** The [Bikini Lines funding campaign](http://www.indiegogo.com/Bikini-Lines?c=home) just started. so go and crowd-fund this amazing project!
