| Artist Makes Uncanny Fingerprint Portraits Of Famous People
Pretty darn cool... Quote: |
"In Italian there is an expression: 'hide myself behind my finger,'" the artist known as Dito Von Tease tells Shine. "It's a metaphor to mean a not-very-effective hiding place." However, the 33-year-old native of Bologna turned this idea on its head when he created his "Ditology" series of portraits. Von Tease, who also goes by the name "Il Dito" (The Finger), started the project three years ago, when he first subscribed to Facebook. He decided to design an avatar using a photo of his own index finger and some digital retouching. He says, "I wanted to be free from my role, my oppressive relatives, and my not-very-friends." The burlesque performer Dita Von Teese, whom he calls "an expert in disguises," inspired his alias. He also wanted to explore the idea that we all hide ourselves behind an image we create. Which is your favorite? Please let us know in the comments below.

Not to take this thread off-topic, but I was expecting the same as Stylin. Quote:

I'm confident in centuries to come, Close be considered one of the most talented and innovative artists of our lifetimes. I've been a fan of Close's work for a number of years, and he works in very unconventional media - including fingerprints! I was hoping this thread would be on an artist who had drawn inspiration from Close.
A few samples...

So he just took a picture of a finger up close and photoshopped shit onto it? If that's the case, you could put anything finger-shaped in there  and you'd get the same result.
The main draw of the art (finger/fingerprints) is irrelevant to the art itself.
