Handy Work-Guido Daniele

We as stylist make art out of hair with our hands everyday. Guido Daniele, an Italian artist, makes art out of hands everyday. He literally uses hands as his canvas creating amazing images: animals, landscapes, people...it's insane. Some of his work is so amazing that you don't even realize that there is a hand there at all. AT&T asked for his help and imagination for an international ad campaign showing how the wireless phones could be used all over the world. Using scenes from different countries as inspiration, Guido created amazing art on hands for the ad. Check out the video of behind the scenes making of the AT&T advertisement.

Inspiration: Our Pictures Of Our Favorite Shots We Took From Art Basel

Here is a photo recap of our recent trip to The International Art Show: Art Basel.

 

I was really drawn to the geometric shapes from all of these pieces. I love the way inspiration from art translates into a creative spark for hair! I think it's so important to find inspiration in alternative outlets outside of the industry. 

Essentially this blog will act as an inspirational board for a look I will create! From this point I will build a design element on a head form and create a look inspired by all of the works showcased on this post. From the head form I will use my "map" to create the look on a block (mannequin). I will showcase the process of this design from start to finish. My hope is that this will promote you to do the same! Stay tuned!!!

Inspiration In Art: Amazing!! That is enough said.

Check out these unbelievable carvings by artist Dalton Ghetti.

Born in Brazil, Ghetti has been carving since he was a boy - from large pieces of wood to stones, soap, broom hands and now his niche - pencils.

The detail that is put into this work is beyond anything I can write.

It's Just So Much Fun To Look At!!!!

Art Is Everywhere. Inspiration Is Included. Lets Create.

Here are some great shots of some of the best street art in the world. 

I wanted to pull some that really created an illusion with the characters hair. It's amazing how much hair is an accessory and how important it is in the creation of something. I am always intrigued and inspired by what an artist does with hair. 

I am an avid reader of comics, even more so as a kid. I have always been titillated to the aesthetic design of the characters hair and the ability to portray the intensity and strength of the characters.

These artists did that and more. Enjoy:
