Body ART



















With zips, power plugs, laces and buttons adorning their bodies, these young models look like something out of a traveling freak show.
But they are in fact the latest walking exhibits of Japanese artist Chooo-San's incredible illusionary make-up art.
Bored with digitally enhanced pictures, the 19-year-old student decided to see how far she could push her limits without technology - with impressive results.
Japanese college student and artist, Choo-San, has created more incredible makeup art illusions on people's bodies
Using only acrylic paints, these amazingly realistic images are enough to make anyone look twice.
Chooo-San, a first year student at Musashino Art University in Tokyo, Japan, garnered attention in June when she painted misplaced mouths, extra eyes and eerie robotic extras to the human body.
For her second tranche of work, she painted lifelike zips, buttons and shoes laces to skin of her willing friends to give the illusion they are bursting at the seams.
Using only acrylic paints, these amazingly realistic images are enough to make anyone look twice.
Using no digital-editing, the bizarre body-modifications are painstakingly applied using just paint, and they no doubt give passers-by a fright.
Chooo-San discovered her talent after doodling eyes on the back of her own hand during breaks from studying for university admission exams.
But it soon evolved to painting on other people and creating creepy effects such as adding multiple facial and robotic-style features.
Chooo-San explains: 'I don't really have a reason why I started doing those pictures. But I guess I was a little sick of everyone making pictures with their computers and wanted to see how far I can go without those technologies such as Photoshop.
'My works are all done with acrylic paints. They are all painted on skin directly and I don't use computers or anything to change the picture afterwards.'

Beer Can Art



His name was... Albert (Tapper) Torney Everyone thought he was a bit
eccentric and kids would tease and hassle him. But it was discovered he
was very talented and only sold the empty bottles and some of the cans.

After he died in 1998 (aged 86) His large collection of Model Cars he
made from the Aluminum Cans was discovered.
 He always carried a Sugar Bag to collect empty bottles and cans.
This goes to prove..."You Shouldn't Judge A Book by its Cover", or a
Sculptor by his sugar bag.

53-year-old Sergei Bobkov has patented a unique technique of creating amazing sculptures out of Siberian cedar wood-chips.
“It’s not very interesting to do what others can. To create something out of nothing in a completely new way is far more inspiring”. This is how Sergei Bobkov explains the unique form of art that he created. He says many people compare his artworks to taxidermy, because they both look so much like the animals they replicate, but Sergei believes they are as different as light and darkness. Whereas taxidermy is all about death, his wood-chip art symbolizes life.
This resident of Kozhany , Russia , has developed his very own technique, that prevents wood-chips from falling apart in time. After creating about 100-150 chips, from 2-3 inch long cedar stick, he puts them in water for several days. Then, making use of his surgical precision, he carves the chips into any shape he needs.
Sergey has been doing this for some time now, but he has only created 11 wood-chip sculptures. That’s because just one of these incredible artworks takes around six months to complete, at a work rate of 10 to 12 hours a day, with no days off. Sergei Bobkov focuses on wildlife creatures, and he studies their anatomy for months, before starting work on a sculpture.
Even though he was offered $17,000 for his wood-chip eagle, Sergei’s Bobkov declined, saying his art is not for sale.
