The Real Moms of Facebook. Wall Photos. Hyper-Realistic Acrylic Body Painting. When Suzanne Green pointed me to this gallery, at first I thought “Nothing special, must be Photoshopped“.
But Alexa Meade is an artist who thinks completely backwards! Most artists use acrylic paints to create portraits of people on canvas, while Alexa applied acrylic paints on her subjects, and made them appear to be part of a painting!

The Future on the Moon by Matthew Di Paoli. In the future, everyone lives on the moon, but we have the same problems.
Lactose intolerance seems to have gotten worse. It's disappointing. You go out and buy a pouch of cookies and realize you can't enjoy it. That's what it's like being on the moon. Also, sometimes people forget to fasten their boots and they fly off into infinite space and explode. "Johnny was walking his spacedog (we can only own spacedogs now) and he flew off into the sky and was never heard from again. " If I could choose a way to go it wouldn't be by combustion. I guess it's not so bad on the moon though. We don't use spacesuits anymore being that this is the future. I guess it's kind of lonely here, but the pornography is amazing.
When I go to buy groceries, everything's in those little packets, freeze-dried. I remember the consistency of things. How to wake up a kid - ( Breed- Nirvana ) Epic Brawl Depicted.
