Famous Paintings Recreated on the Human Body--Chadwick and Spector's Amazing "Museum Anatomy"

These deliciously fantastic images by Chadwick and Spector take body painting to a whole new level of fantasy, magic and sheer excellence; they are a bona fide feast to the eyes and to the imagination. These human paintings are part of a creative effort called "Museum Anatomy" which seeks to impart fresh life to and recreate famous works of art by such masters as Rubens, Picasso, Botticelli and others on the human body. I'd say the result is simply masterful!

Lamentation of Christ, Botticelli 1495/96

Fantastic Russian Tree-Inspired Body Art

I really don't know a whole lot about this body art. I know the artists are Russian and that the fantastic Russian graphic designer Fredy Wenzel is one of the artist and that William McCormick is the photographer and co-founder of this beautiful project.
