Yet another example of pencil art. These are pretty unbelievable…the fact that artist Paul Cadden drew these photorealistic pieces of art with nothing but a pencil and paper. Pencil is one of my favorite mediums…somewhat the same practice I used as a kid drawing ninja turtles between homework assignments (yes, geeky I know)
What inevitably happens whenever art like this is presented is a discussion whether this kind of work is considered “art”. “How is this art when the person accomplishes nothing more than what a photocopying machine does?” always comes up. What do you think?
I personally don’t need to label this type of work. In my opinion I admire the artist for his mastery of the craft. This type of work exhibits patience, the eye for detail, and the mastery of the tool. That’s all I need. I’d love a piece of art like this in my home. Not sure I’d have £5000 handy though. *sob* (via DailyMail)
