3. The self-taught illustrator who doodles on her thighs
Boston-based film student Jodi Steel found an intriguing use for her thighs. Like many students, she passed the time during boring school lectures by doodling, only instead of exercising her artistic talents on the back of her notebooks, she did it on her bare skin.
Despite having no kind of formal training as an illustrator, Jodi's dermal masterpieces look like the work of a seasoned artist, a fact which she attributes to relentless practice, despite what everyone else may think.
Her talents didn't go unnoticed, and after seeing the artworks on her thigh one day, a teacher at Emerson College asked Jodi to draw the illustrations for a "steampunk" book called Steaming into a Victorian Future: A Steampunk Anthology.
She recently shot to internet fame after photos of her detailed thigh drawings went viral on the popular news sharing site, Reddit, where some of them were actually mistaken for tattoos
