Some look better than others. Astonishing work indeed.

Just wait -- someone, somewhere, will proclaim "photography is dead!".

A redundant art form if ever there was one. Take days to paint something you could have done in 1/250s

Didn't Vermeer do this?

I can make a house out of toothpicks, in the end it's still a house. That's not to say photography is a process of industrial efficiency, but it's just dumb to waste your time this way.

The red head girl with freckles done by Samuel Silva (a lawyer) was done with Bic ball point pens.

Not everything in life is about instant gratification..

Pretty good work. But if you like them, do not miss an opportunity to see work done by Dutch Masters. They toured the USA around 1990 and I will never forget.
