Burning Man - StuckInCustoms.com. New Carnivore Discovered, Rare With Teddy Bear Looks. A fuzzy fog-dweller with a face like a teddy bear is the first carnivore found in the Western Hemisphere in more than three decades, a new study says. The 2-pound (0.9-kilogram) creature, called an olinguito, didn't make itself easy to find. The orange-brown mammal lives out a solitary existence in the dense, hard-to-study cloud forests of Colombia and Ecuador, which inspired part of its Latin name Bassaricyon neblina: Neblina is Spanish for "fog. " What's more, the large-eyed critter—now the smallest known member of the raccoon family—is active only at night, when it hunts for fruit in its Andean habitat. Like other carnivores such as the giant panda, olinguitos seem to eat mostly plants, but are nevertheless part of the taxonomic order Carnivora.

Alexa Meade: Your body is my canvas – cYphIt

Not for her a life of sketching and stretching canvases. Instead, she selects a topic and then paints it–literally. She covers everything in a scene–people, chairs, food, you name it–in a mask of paint that mimics what’s below it. In this eye-opening talk Meade shows off photographs of some of the more outlandish results, and shares a new project involving people, paint and milk. Like this: Like Loading...

The portraits are created by painting Alexa’s nude body and then submerging her in a pool of milk. The subsequent interaction between the paint and milk mixing together help create these unique portraits. Read more about their art project here. Watch a video below explaining the technique. Alexa Meade: Body Painting in a Pool of Milk. Don’t be deceived, these aren’t simply paintings, but something far more realistic than they appear at first glance.

Alexa Meade: Body Painting in a Pool of Milk

True to her signature style of creating bold paintings on top of live models, Alexa Meade has made a series of painting/body art/photographs in collaboration with Sheila Vand. This time, instead of seeing Meade’s model placed before a painted scene or wandering the real world, she’s used a pool of opaque white milk as her backdrop. The results are beautiful and, as usual, fascinating to decipher.

The series of images marks a new direction for Meade, one that sees her fine body painting becoming more temporal as it slowly washes away. She’s Alive! Painter Alexa Meade and performing artist Sheila Vand have teamed up to create a project titled, “MILK: what will you make of me?”

She’s Alive!

Using an inflatable pool full of milk, Vand lies in it and Meade paints over her body. The end result is a collection of time-based photos that mimic traditional style paintings.
