I stumbled accross these a while ago and have been meaning to post about them. The models have been drenched in what appears to be blood, then the models themselves are edited out of the image. This creates some amazing imagery, of which the above picture only scrapes the surface.

The artists name is John Ross. For more like this, as well as the rest of his portfolio, check out his site here. Unfortunately it is one of those horrible flash sites that you can’t link to individual pages on, and it’s a chore to navigate. Luckily the quality of the work more than makes up for any unpleasantness one may experience. I’m still in awe of some of the images he has created with such simple things, such as paper, balloons, various liquids and dyes, and even the human body. Enjoy.
