Shiny Object

Washington, DC-based artist Alexa Meade is a 23-year old face painter. Not the paint a dragon on your kid’s face at the Renaissance Faire kind. But one that  paints masterpieces directly onto the human body, creating the illusion of  a canvas. When I first saw the work my reaction was that she’s a great painter. But when I realized these were living, breathing works I was floored. Her flickr page gives greater insight into her technique and genius.
