Girl paints Yao Ming portrait with a basketball

by Emily Co on January 26, 2012

Check out this video of Hong Yi a.k.a. Red, a Borneo artist who lives in Shanghai, painting a portrait of Yao Ming by dipping a basketball in red paint and smearing it on a sheet of paper. According to her YouTube page, the nickname Red stems from her Chinese last name Hong, which sounds like the word red in English.  She specializes in painting without a brush and she’s even created a portrait with sunflower seeds, too. Purty cool!

(Thanks, Lu!)
