Hairy Paintbrush Portraits

These Paintbrush Art Images Feature Normal Brushes with Human Hair

San Diego-based artist Seyo Cizmic created a series of paintbrush art portraits that feature average paintbrushes, except each brush contains human hair instead of bristles. This quirky and creative photography series displays numerous hairstyles that are fitted onto various colorful paintbrushes.

Each image reveals a new hair style. Some of the styles are braided while others are cornrows. There are portraits with black, blonde and brunette hair colors. Each image is unique on its own but the entire collection remains a cohesive series with the commonality of human hair and paintbrushes.

Each piece in this paintbrush art series allows the viewer to become intrigued and tap into their imagination as they attempt to decipher these unique portraits. While traditional bristles somewhat resemble hair already, this photo series takes the idea to new and whimsical heights.
