After reseaching body art for a previous brief set at uni, I discovered the Italian hyper-realistic, multimedia artist, Guido Daniele. He bagan as an illustrator and experimented with airbrushing and other painting techniques while working with advertising and editing companies.
In 1990, he developed a body painting technique, and his work has been used in advertising images and commercials, as well as fashion events and exhibitions. He painted whole bodies, as well as what I find his most impressive work 'handimals'. 'Handimals' are a sequence of extremely realistic animals painted on the human hand shown below:
I find it incredible the amount of detail he has managed to capture and place on such a small area. In each of his 'handimals' I think has transformed each hand into an animal, leaving the hand hardly recognisable through the paint. Guido was the named 2007 Hero of the Year. An award given to him by the Animal Planet television network.
