Some painters create such realistic and plastic pictures that it is hard to believe that they are not photographs. Alexa Meade does the opposite. Instead of canvas, she herself uses models that she colors with acrylic paints. Their skin is her canvas and the result is extraordinary. Although you may think that these are artistic pictures, they are "just" photographs.

One who falls into this second category of artist is Russell Powell, but he doesn't do tattoos, which is what you might think at first. Powell draws incredibly realistic portraits with his own hand, or rather the palm of his hand. But his pictures don't just stay on his hand, because he prints them on paper like a stamp.
