finger painter

This is pretty amazing…

Chilean artist Fabian Gaete Maureira finger paints the detailed landscapes with a few flicks of his wrist in a matter of minutes. He’s been called “Bob Ross on meth.” This dude cruises through paintings and thrills audiences. (Complex)

aids foundation mural

The AIDS Foundation of Chicago has collaborated with organizers in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side to create a mural that raises public awareness of sexually transmitted diseases. The mural, designed by Pilsen artist Carla Carr and painted by artist W.Data of Critical Massive, was a collaborative effort with the AIDS Foundation of Chicago and was inspired by AFC’s “With me comes a cure” city-wide campaign launched last year.
