yeah i was looking through there... he does a lot of recreations of neon signs and shadows.

i noticed the date on some of them was 1990, and my first thought was "omg doing that on a 1990 computer with a 1990 version of Photoshop would suuuuuuuuck!"

I don't like Wicker Park (Damen Blue Line Stop). Bunch of altera-type people live there. Guys wearing tight jeans, retro Ts and chains. I prefer Lincoln Park.

impressive but... whynot just take a picture??

"As a photo-realist painter, I have often been asked why I don’t just take a photograph. Good question, when you consider my paintings look like photographs. Well, for one thing, I’m not a photographer. To me, it is not the destination that is important—it is the journey. The incredible challenge of recreating reality is my motivation." — Bert Monroy

i guess i should have read lol

good point and i respect that but it honestly just doesnt do it for me. a carbon copy of reality defeats the purpose of art as i have always known it. much of what i respected in art was being able to see the personality and life of an artist through his or her work. ever seen i-robot? but thats just my opinion. either way the man has some skills

This person is talented. But they probobly suck at painting IRL.

IRL, there are no layers in painting, no undo buttons, you LOSE!
