Fingerpainting


I don't even know the artist's name but Claire emailed these pictures and they are so gorgeous and impressive that I wanted to share. The only info that came with them was:
It takes him four hours to do a hand. Then he photographs it for posterity. I cannot imagine how he does the eyes so remarkably lifelike.  It took him 10 hours to do the two-handed Eagle in picture #2.

I'll never attempt my puny shadow puppetry again.

Fantastic. Makes my ACAB on my knuckles seem a tad underwhelming!

I love the photographs of his body paintings as well. I would love (LOVE!) to have by bod painted like that.
