Amazing Hyperrealism Pencil Art

Smokescreen

Art never ceases to amaze, but it is especially true when you find work that makes use of the ordinary and creates something totally unexpected. This is what came to mind when I saw some of the work by hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden. The 47-year-old Scottish artist takes what is familiar to all of us – a pencil – and creates drawings that look like they were taken by a camera. Mere words are not enough to showcase just how jaw-dropping the drawings are. Take a look at this drawing with men smoking cigarettes. So what’s so special about such a drawing? Doesn’t it look like a black and white Read more »

Screaming Superheroes: Because They Also Get Frustrated

Screaming Superheroes

Superheroes may have powers that are not accessible to mere mortals like you and me, but it doesn’t mean that they do not have their fair share of frustrations in life. Think of a random superhero. Any superhero. I am pretty sure that you will be able to think of at least one thing in his or her life that gets his or her nerves. Roberto Salvador, a graphic designer based out of Brussels, seems to be in touch with this side of superheroes. At least if his work featuring screaming superheroes is any indication.

The Artful Avengers

The Artful Avengers

The weekend has been a very relaxing one for me, and I found myself spending more time in front of the TV. Of course, as the release of The Avengers comes closer, a peek or two at the trailer became part of the weekend activity. I don’t know about you, but I think that trailer is worth watching over and over again. Of course, I am not discounting the possibility that the movie might prove to be a letdown after seeing the trailer. Crossing my fingers! And speaking of The Avengers, here is a different rendition of some of your favorite superheroes. Meet The Artful Avengers. The depictions may not Read more »

When Classic Art and LOLspeak Collide

Dante

Lolspeak is here, and it might be here to stay. At least for a while, until it evolves into something else. Whether that next kind of language is better or worse than lolspeak, I have no idea! If you are averse to the idea of the English language being corrupted by lolspeak, maybe it’s high time you loosen up a bit. If you use lolspeak on a regular basis, you will definitely have fun with these images. These are “portraits” which shout CLASSIC! The big difference is that lolspeak has been injected, rather blatantly, resulting in a hilarious mashup. Perhaps those who are knowledgeable about art will find the mashup Read more »

In fact, today’s post just might make you appreciate flowers more than ever. Without the usual connotations that come with it. These flower pictures are the work of American photographer David Read more »
