I remember in elementary school drawing some eyeballs around the thumb and forefinger of my hand to create my first puppet theater. Wasn’t the last time I’d paint my hand but not like this guy.
When Italian artist Guido Daniele was hired by an advertising agency to create body painting of animals, he loved the idea. “I researched each animal in depth to see how I could transfer it to a hand, and then set about bringing it to life.” The hardest part of his job is watching his creations disappear down the drain after they’re photographed. “I’m getting used to it,” Daniele shrugs. “At least I get to start each day with a fresh canvas.” Guido Daniele lives and works in Milan and has some amazing work, using the contours of the hand to provide additional depth to the painted work.
