<p>Seriously now, how flippin&#39; awesome is this?</p>
<p>That&#39;s artist <a href="http://www.alexameade.com/about.html" target="_self">Alexa Meade</a> painting a man. Literally. She uses something like a reverse trompe l&#39;oeil to paint her portrait subjects quite literally into the painting.</p>
<p>It&#39;s kind of mindblowing if you think about it too much.</p>
<p>But the best part is when the portrait subject/portrait itself just gets up and nonchalantly takes the subway:</p>

<p><br />Woah.</p>
<p>I&#39;m not usually one to get all excited about performance art, but this has got me thinking and feeling and wondering about what is still possible in a world where it seems like everything&#39;s been done already.</p>
<p>That&#39;s what good art is supposed to do.</p>
<p>Here&#39;s a video of her painting the man in blue.</p>
