Jeese, so really technically drawn. In itself is amazing but seems painful to be drawing in so much accuracy this way. from a real life photograph maybe? have you seen drawings by this artist and magician- he seems to take much enjoyment in automatical drawing. but was a more technical drawer to begi with-it gives him licence to go with flow?

It was from a photograph and it did take a while, i'm not so much into the photorealism anymore, but it was a good experience in order to learn how to invest time in one piece, something I've always had trouble with. Thank you for the link by the way, I always have an eye open for anything dealing with the old occult symbolism. I think you need to enjoy what your doing with art otherwise your just making aesthetic philosophy. Most great artist wont concern themselves with what is considered a dead or outdated medium anyways.

Your welcome J. Thanks for the reply. Glad you like the link. I understand your method of working to gain experience. You have to begin with learning by investing much time in some ways.
Enjoying what you do in art is a prerequisite for sure. I'm not sure what most artists consider dead or outdated medium. All to me seems to be forever alive if u wanna hump it.

Bad art is more tragically beautiful than good art 'cause it documents human failure.

I think you mixed up some pictures. Didn you? Or did you cpoy the whole picture from the Newsweek? Anyway this picture is amazing. Thank you for uploading.
I am collceting prison related pictures in any kind. Have some drawings made by prisoners. Your drawing is so accurate and detailed that I could imagine that you made in a prison...
