Does the above look like a painting to you? Me too, but it's not. I recently was approached by a nifty new blog called Bizarre Bytes, where they did a feature on Washington DC artist Alexa Meade (I'll post what I write when its published, so stay tuned). She reverses the traditional trompe l’oeil (trick of the eye) technique and makes you believe humans are works of art by first painting their bodies and then photographing them in 2D.
As you can see here, the "painting" is alive and sitting next to the artist herself. Check out the artist's work here. It's amazing and I hope to see more in person while she's still DC based. Thanks again Bizarre Bytes!
