hot mess

i came upon these works by artist alicia ross from her current exhibit 'hot mess'. she finds photos online of some the 'tabloid's favorite females', does a phrenology study, and then does a cross-stitch of their portrait. the results are rather stunning. plus, i'm partial to an artist who uses 'unconventional' methods and pays an excruciating amount to detail. the exhibit is on view now through november 21 at black & white gallery in nyc. here are a few of my favorites...

jenna jameson
