From Designer Daily

Shannon Holt is a body painter, that means she uses the human body as a canvas for her creations. With all its asperities, the skin isn’t an easy medium to paint on, but it also offers the opportunity to create some sense of ledge.

With her “Florida wildlife” series, Holt created animal portraits that took 6 to 12 hours each. A lot of work for artworks that are erased after the photo shooting.

About the author, very short bio

I have been working as a freelancer for more than 4 years now in my little city of Fribourg, Switzerland, with a 6 months trip to Shanghai in the middle of this. After graduating from the eracom in Lausanne, Switzerland, I immediately jumped into the freelancers bandwagon. Before that, I did in no particular order: live for 2 years in USA, play basketball a lot, arrive on earth on the 7th of mai 1980, have 2 brothers, a lovely wife, and 2 kids…

I am also available for all kind of design jobs such as: logo design, book covers, book or ebook layout, brochure creation, flyer or poster design, psd layout for a website, wordpress template, drupal template, banner design,… well, anything you can think of.

When I’m not blogging on Designer Daily, I write for other design blogs, such as GraphicDesign.com, WebDesignerDepot, Design Reviver or SixRevisions.
