Changing hands into animals


By Jeff

On the past few weeks I have been out on a mission who’s purpose has been to try and establish who in my view would probably take the honours of the most creative artist of our time this year.

As an art enthusiast and a graphic artist myself I seriously had a big problem on deciding who’s work I should feature first on this edition of best creative artist of our time, but not until I stumbled upon this Italian artist Guido Daniele work. He was in recent past hired by an advertising agency to create body painting of animals and as he says, he really 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 though 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."

Of course Guido Daniele is not the final contestant in this category and therefore I will be presenting to you a few more illustrious artists and their works in the upcoming posts for you to make the ultimate judgement.
