Are you for real?

This month, a lot of amazing artists have sprung up with one thing in common... Realism!

After I went mental for pencil thanks to Paul Lungs feline phenomenons, people couldn't help but offer me other near realistic artistic interpretations.

Here's a compilation of cats by Paul Lung:


Then followed a range artistic techniques from brushes to biro's.
But the artist that really stopped me in my tracks was Alyssa Monks.
Her combination of oil on linen would have been breathtaking enough, but a she managed to take it a stage further when she turned on the water works.

Pause 16x20, oil on panel, 2009

Smirk 48x64, oil on linen, 2009

Weight 42x56, oil on linen, 2007

Immersion 42x56, oil on linen, 2006

The Race 72x96, oil on linen, 2007

Tug of War 64x86, oil on linen, 2007


Told you it was amazing!

Words can not describe the graphite realism that is betrayed in Paul Lungs art. But if they did they'd probably say Walrus! I told you they couldn't describe it, what were you expecting?
Just look on in wonder as we browse a selection of his impossible not photo's.

The London Metro quotes:
'Each one will take about 40 to 60 hours and I will draw when I get back from the office after work for about three to four hours a day.

'Most of my drawing size are A2 size and all done using a 0.5mm technical pencil. I like graphite realism drawing because I can use just one single pencil to create millions of different textures.'
