Artist Alexa Meade paints model Will Claybaugh, she will then photograph him to create her final artwork.

The effect creates an optical illusion as the 3D effect of her scenes is compressed into a 2D plane.Miss Meade, 24, grew up in Washington D.C. and had previously worked on Capitol Hill as an intern, before working on Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign.
