Artist Guido Daniele has turned his hand to creating a wholly different style of painting.
Rather than working on canvas, he uses human hands to produce these stunning animals - like a Technicolor version of the "shadows on the wall" game.
Guido, from Milan, started working with living canvases in 1990, painting the bodies of models for advertising campaigns. Then he began specialising in hands.
The whole process takes anything from two to ten hours - and the models can't even twiddle their thumbs...

Beautiful handiwork, but quite impractical. Still, I applaud the effort.

I wonder if he was the one who was one the Animal Planet promo spots? Those hand animal things were cool!

Just Wow!

Those are terrific. Kudos to both the artist and the models. I know I couldn't sit there while it was being done. I'm too antsy for that. Someone has a lot of patience.

That's what I'm wondering. I bet it WAS him. :)

Sorry.
You can pick your friends.
You can pick you nose.
But you can't pick your friends nose. :hammer:

^I guess my friend will have to pick my nose if it's painted! :-)
