This is fantastic and I'd love to have it on my wall - but I suspect an original will be a tad out of my budget

I know I'm no art critic (and I'll be told I'm missing the point) but it does make me smile when someone sells a splodge of paint on a canvas for millions and yet there are people out there with an ability to paint like this.

This one looks a lot more like an HDR Photo to me. :wink:

It is hard to tell though.

You can get some very "is it a painting or not" look to photos these days. :wink:




I do think that first picture is a painting though. 8)

Its a pencil drawing by an artist called Paul Cadden as is the other one Starkers posted on here. They aren't hdr photos.
The fact you think it is is testament to his incredible skill.
Just amazing.

Ah, yes, he is very talented!!
