Art in the Hands

You may have seen these before. I did a long time ago.
Someone just sent them to me a few days ago, as if for the first time, not knowing.
I don't know who the artist is though I've searched for him or her online.
I hope they will not mind me sharing these wonders with others who may not have seen -
or want to enjoy them again - without proper credit.

This is what the email I received had written:
"It takes him four hours to do one hand.
He then photographs it for posterity.
I cannot imagine how he does it; the eyes are so remarkably lifelike.
It took him 10 hours to do the two-handed Eagle in the picture."

Hope someone else was there to photograph that one!
Sorry if any duplicates; I couldn't really tell whether they were exactly the same.

It is truly amazing - the visual acuity in 3D. And then to put it on your own hand.
Reminds me of the more primitive, but delightful Senor Wences.
Remember him?

The name of the artist is Guido Daniele. Do a google images search and you'll find lots of his stuff. It's beautiful, isn't it?
It IS beautiful - and amazingly counterintuitive. Thank you for providing the credit! He definitely needed to be named. You're right on top of things, aren't you. I have yet to really, truly, play with google images. That's pretty amazing too, considering...
