- Princess Fiona Crystal (PFC)

I was just going through something on http://www.dailymail.co.uk and came across something weird
So it just came in my mind that it has been too long since I last checked Ripley's Believe It or Not.
Well...my fascination for strange, weird & other fascinating stuff is not new...I am one of those who would love watching & learning about anything that is out of the box...

I came across some strange Work of art.......& also a Lady VAMPIRE who just one day thought of transforming herself....to overcome...her traumatic past....A transformation was way too strange & weird ....but after all it was something that she wanted and actually had the courage to do.....but still is the same beautiful and soft-hearted woman that she has been always.....
So here is the list guys....
Enjoy...

SKIN ILLUSTRATOR

http://www.ripleys.com/weird/uncategorized/skin-illustrator/

Emma Hack is an Australian-based artist who uses the human body as a canvas. Her works blend her human canvas into a styled background so flawlessly that it is hard to tell where one begins and the other ends.

AMAZING REAL LIFE PAINTINGS!

Real Life Paintings by Alexa Meade. Don’t be fooled, these aren’t paintings, look again these are real people painted on.

Alexa Meade’s body paintings are made with acrylic paint and gives the illusion that they popped right out of a painting. Amazing!

Check her work out at her website and on her Flickr.

BALLPOINT PEN OR PHOTOGRAPH?

PEN ART

It’s hard to figure out which one is the photograph and which one is drawn using simple Bic ballpoint pens. Samuel Silva is a 29-year-old from Portugal. He draws photographic quality images using everyday Bic ballpoint pens.

Ballpoint pen is not my only medium, it’s just the one I’m currently trying to master. At this point in my life I’m proficient with chalk, pencil, color pencil, pastels, oils and acrylics…Ballpoint pens are as underestimated as they are a powerful medium. It’s not about what you use, it’s about how you use it.

HE’S A WHAT?!?!

For work this good you would think Silva is a professional artist. Perhaps the most unbelievable part of this story is that this guy is a lawyer! He makes these amazing drawings in his free time. The picture above is based on a

photograph by Kristina Tararina and only took him about 30 hours to complete (btw, the image on the left is the drawing, the one on the right is the photograph). Because Silva gets bombarded with tons of questions about his work, he wrote some quick FAQs on his website.

WHO-WHA-HOW-WHY

Q:How many colors do you have and what pens are these?
A: I have 8 colored Bic ballpoint pens, for this I used 6 of them plus black. They are just common everyday ballpoint pens.
Q: Where do you get them? I have never seen them.
A: Staples, Ebay, Amazon, and pretty much any good office supply store, just because you haven’t noticed them before doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Q: Do you use any other medium mixed with the ballpoint pens?
A: No, I just use ballpoint pens for these drawings. Everything is 100% ballpoint pen.
Q: How do you mix the colors? How do you blend them?
A: I don’t mix them nor blend them. Ballpoint pen ink dries instantly and can not be erased. I just cross hatch the different colors in layers to create the illusion of blending and the illusion of colors I don’t actually have.
Q: Are you a professional Artist?
A: No, I’m just a lawyer, art is just a hobby for me, although it takes from 5 to 50 hours to finish each drawing. I started drawing when I was 2.

THE MEXICAN VAMPIRE WOMAN GETS IMMORTALIZED AT RIPLEY’S

I met Maria Cristina yesterday for the first time. She is here from Mexico to have her body casted at Ripley’s Art Department. It is the first step in the process to create a life-size replica of her. Every detail, in her body, every tattoo, every piercing … a journey into the life and the story of the most wildly modified and tattooed woman in the world!

SO, COME ALONG AND SHARE THE JOURNEY AND GET A GLIMPSE INTO ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE, ODD, AND AMAZING WOMAN THAT HAS VISITED OUR OFFICES. A TRUE BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

We begin with a few candid shots to get things rolling and to break the ice.

WHO KNEW?!

You probably would never guess by just looking at her that she could anything more that a “freak”. Well, come to find out … she is much more than what meets the eye. In spite of her extreme and unbelievable appearance, Marijose (short for Maria Jose), has been married for eight years , is a dedicated mother of four, a businesswoman who runs a tattoo/clothing/jewelry shop, an accomplished painter, and a passionate advocate for battered women.
