Instead of painting
directly on paper, first-grade school teacher Russel Powell paints realistic
portraits directly on his hand, then using it as a stamp. The San Jose-based
teacher-artist paints quickly enough that the paint doesn’t dry, letting his
palm-lines become part of the piece. Powell calls this process “hand-stamping,”
and e
ven incorporates similar art projects into his classes.

Powell has been
teaching at the same school for 14 years, and also runs Pangaean Studios. He is
a lover of music, having grown up with a dad who’s a Rock n’ Roll/blues
guitarist. One of Powell’s favorite things is walking up to his classroom in
the morning and listening his friend Jim play piano for the kids at the start
of their day.
