Women often dress to stand out.  But artist Emma Hack likes to paint her female models to blend right in–to the wallpaper, that is.  She spends up to 19 hours meticulously copying the design from the wall-covering onto a naked woman.  The model then stands against the surface to create a striking 3D “human wallpaper” effect.

The 35-year-old self-taught Australian artist has been in the trade for over 20 years, making a living painting bodies for ads, events and exhibitions.  “It can be exhausting for myself and my models,” Hack says.  “But it is my job and my love.  Even if I am a bit tired, painting relaxes me and I really enjoy the process.”
