Hand Art in Ads

This is perhaps one of the most artistic campaigns I’ve come across. They’re done so well, it took me a second to see the finger outlines in some. The ads display the specialties of the countries AT&T is working in, in case you’re wondering… There’s an Egyptian motif, Japanese motif, Jamaican motif, an Indian elephant, and a cheetah in Zimbabwean jungle – all depicted through hand art.

I have yet to see them around Boston, but here are photos of some taken at San Francisco Airport:

I love the fish and coral piece and the one with the British guards the most – Which one’s your favorite?

There are plenty more of these ads and they’re all gorgeous pieces. Looks to me like the majority of the hand models here are men, except for the last ad that has softer and smaller hands. I wonder how long it took to get the perfect shot. Can you imagine holding your hand in a pose like any of the above for more than like two seconds? I know I couldn’t!

Oh, that reminds me, I need a manicure.
