I'm not worthy! Truly incredible!

CRIMPS · 08-28-2012, 03:18 PM

Chainsaw13 · 08-28-2012, 03:23 PM

I saw that the other day. Unreal. True artistry.

N2 GOLD · 08-28-2012, 03:24 PM

Big Bert · 08-28-2012, 03:33 PM

That looks incredible

markem · 08-28-2012, 04:25 PM

Nowhere near as good as the cigar art sold here. I'm supporting my homies!

I've seen lots of drawing with cigars in them that I would hardly call "art", so calls 'em as yens sees 'em, Larry.

Why, have they been feeling poorly?

Call me a doubting Thomas, but they look too much like a photograph.

No answers here, but it has been featured on some major networks lately.

There's no white in the 8 colors, but I see a lot of white that would be hard to draw around with colors leaving a white spot. Looks "too" good.

CigarNut · 08-28-2012, 07:19 PM

I suspect this would be something that could be easliy verified with a magnifying glass of some sort.

Given the visibility that this artist and his prints have, I think that it is true, otherwise there would be people posting about it...

google "negative space drawing". I own several originals that are examples of this technique.

Very cool Michael!

Tom, thanks for posting a link I can actually see at work.

Blak Smyth · 08-29-2012, 09:40 AM

I think when you see it large you can see the strokes and determine it is indeed drawn.
The easiest spot to see this is the whiskers IMHO. Amazing work.

mosesbotbol · 08-29-2012, 11:01 AM

Wow!! Very impressive skills and life like colors. Do you know the original sizes of the pictures?
