Interesting. I do some Daz#D stuff to get around having to pay a mindless model.

Most of my aviation paintings would be impossible to photograph, such as Timing is Everything for example

Very impressive! Now, if you could draw/paint a woman like that, make her real, and then send her to me, I would be even more impressed.

Nothing short of wow! If anyone can detract from that, tell them to go paint themselves into a corner.

As a style, Photorealism has a few detractors, who often dismiss it as pointless, or non-art.

All liberals, who find the chaos of something like a Jackson Pollock more in keeping with the way their own brains work. ;)

Very nice image.

I’m guessing that the painter is doing a lot of detail work under a magnifying glass. I know a lot of the best photoshop work is done almost pixel by pixel.

I went to an art show, and everything looked like it was painted (and sometimes fingerpainted) by an angry monkey.

Well, not everything.

Some of it instead looked like it was painted by crack-smoking lunatic. The more debased and formless, the greater the reviews.

The talentless paint for the critics. This Dru Blair fellow's work is probably discounted as "not art" by the butt-sniffers.

My favorite artist (although mostly risque (not porn, just risque) Oliva.

I met her about 15 years ago and she is an amazing women.

She doesn't use any computer generated help, merely pencil and watercolors.

Dru Blair is amazing! 70 hours! Thank you for posting the painting. I am going to look up any books Blair wrote. BTW this is a painting I am working on presently which took 7 months?: Homage to the White Rose

Thank you

Up til now, this guy's stuff was the most impressive I've seen - all dry drawing media - no airbrush. But I'm also still a fan of modern art too - call me schizo! ;-)
