Hull was full of naked blue people on Saturday morning – all in the name of art

Kind of like The Smurfs, only human and naked.

The city of Hull in England was overrun with naked people painted blue for the purposes of a Spencer Tunick art installation. Estimates from the Hull Daily Mail suggest that over 3,000 people stripped off and blued up for the event, which involved seven giant nude photos in the city centre. The installation is called 'Sea of Hull'. While it might sound amusing, some of the images that can be found on Twitter are actually quite mesmerising. https://twitter.com/KaySocLearn/status/751704467133829120 https://twitter.com/TallulahTangle/status/751693466481164288 https://twitter.com/HCAFCTigerlink/status/751689893747814400 https://twitter.com/Hullccnews/status/751654252632797184 https://twitter.com/FloraBaker/status/751680466143604737 https://twitter.com/Philby91/status/751764124082835456 And this lovely aftermath shot, taken in a McDonald's: https://twitter.com/Lancashirewitch/status/751673555713159168
