Paintings Made Up Of Real People

Alexa Meade manages to skillfully comine paint, installation,  portraiture and photography to create an amazing body of work. Instead of using acrylic paint to create people on canvas, she works backwards by applying paint on her subjects, blending them into becoming part of the artwork. Check out these images and video of her work!

Revamping the School Photo

No more stiff poses, dull backgrounds or forced smiles. Isn't this how you would want to remember your kid? Stomping Ground have successfully reinvented the school picture by encouraging kids to "wear whatever they like, bring their favorite toy, dress up in their fanciest costume, dance and jump around". If only they were around for my school pictures!
