Instead of drawing on paper, elementary school teacher Russell Powell draws realistic portraits directly on his hand to use his palm as a stamp later. The art teacher draws fast enough so that the paint doesn't have time to dry and allows the lines on the palm to become part of the artwork.
Powell calls this process "hand stamping" and even includes similar art projects in his lessons. The man has been teaching at the same school for 14 years and also works at the Pangaean studio.
