It's Michel-handgelo!

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...

Check these out, the effect is amazing.

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

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.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

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:
