(We love the idea of our bodies as a canvas).

  1. Use TinEye to reverse search for image makers.

    Be sure to credit photographers and artists.

  2. Hey, thanks. We tried TinEye when it first launched and didn’t have much success. We try to credit photographer’s and artists but sometimes can’t find the source, so we’ll definitely use this.
