Phil Hansen Art

I came across this guy in this Yahoo article and thought he had some very interesting techniques and really cool pieces of art that I was fascinated by. According to the article his breakthrough piece was a time-lapse video of a two-day project called "Influences." where he painted 30 pictures on his own chest, one over the other, with each picture representing an influence in his life. When he was done, he peeled the quarter-inch thick layer of paint from his skin and cut out a silhouette of his own profile. The video was streamed more than a million times on the Web — a cyber art phenomenon in which both process and final piece were revealed. He also did a portrait of Kim Jong Il using 500 cc's of his own blood. Check out those sites for the rest of his work, it is worth a look.
