Kaziah Hancock - Project Compassion

My mom sent me this video because she is so impressed with what Kaziah Hancock is doing:

Kaziah is an amazing artist that paints portraits of soldiers that were killed defending our country. She then sends the artwork to the families of the fallen soldiers at no charge. Check out the video, Kaziah Hancock is quite a character. I love interesting people :).

If you like what Kaziah is doing, you can donate to support Project Compassion. Project Compassion is a certified non-profit organization and all contributions are tax-deductible.

Funny Fish Faces

Someone (I think it was my mom?) sent me these cool photos of fish painted on this couples faces:

Either these people are very creative (and have a lot of time on their hands) or they've been tripping on acid for a week straight...You decide. ;)

Hand Paintings by Guido Daniele

Artist Guido Daniele did the following paintings, using human hands as his canvas:

Not half bad of an artist, if you ask me ;). He should be a tattoo artist. At least then, his masterpieces wouldn't be washed away after a few hours...

Guido Daniele does other forms of body painting, as well as "traditional" art. You can check out his website, but it is painfully slow.

Drift Wood Art

This is actually pretty amazing. All of the life-sized horses below are constructed of drift wood:

The artist that made these horses is Heather Jansch and she is based in England. She has a pretty good eye to be able to turn simple pieces of driftwood into these amazing horse scultures. That, or she just has too much time on her hands...;)

Anamorphic Drawings

These drawings are anamorphic drawings, which give the illusion of 3D when viewed from a certain viewpoint. The artist that drew them is Julian Beever and I have to say that he is a pretty amazing artist! It's hard to believe that all of the drawings below are 100% FLAT.

People are actually walking around the "hole" in the drawing below:

Remember, the artists feet are both flat on the pavement...

Here is the same drawing from the wrong viewpoint:

This drawing is actually 40 feet long, as you can see in the shot taken from the side:
