Just as I conquered color by numbers...

Extraordinary. His technique is off the charts.

I thought I did ultrarelistic digital painting, but I can’t hold a candle to this guy.

The canvases must be huge. But even then, this is very time-consuming
and incredibly skilled.

The downside is that the subject matter is mundane.

But his paintings will make a nice conversation piece in some billionaire’s pad.

My guess is Van Gogh would hate all of these paintings.

Using Picasa (who needs Photoshop?! (Which I also have.)) I’ve been making my photographs look like paintings lately.

There was a graphics artist in my town who designed stylish, posters, store signs, restaurant menues, wine labels, book covers, all instantly recognizeable as his, who always claimed that he was not an “artist” but an “illustrator”.

And this? I've always regarded it as a brilliant work of political parody!
A piece of famous kitsch combined with an iconic image of social reality.

I once bought an original landscape painting at a thrift shop to hang in my office, which I shared with two other programmers. I brought it in and the boss rolled on the floor laughing, saying it was a paint by numbers job.

Incredible stuff, but I’ve always thought acrylics had no “soul”. Oils, pastels, etc. have a certain warmth to them. Just MHO
