The Ultimate Bic Biro Artist

paulo - 01/24/2008

You probably are one of those people who doodles in some paper while speaking on the phone... or maybe you just like to draw some random lines, paint it with you Bic Biro pen... and finally you get to throw it away, 'cause you don't think that drawing is important... right?

Well, there is this one guy, Juan Francisco Casas, who actually uses the ultra classic, basic, Bic Biro to make some real artistic drawings. He, my friends, is a übber artist i gotta say. I mean, who in the world makes such realistic images like him? And when I say realistic, i mean photograph realistic. He got it all: lighting, skin texture, body anatomy... man, I wish i could do some doodles 1/5 as cool as his. You can check his site for further information, and check his gallery, or his myspace.

first of all whats a biro? just a regular bic pen?

but yeah these drawings are really nice. But in your post you asked, "who in the world makes such realistic images as him?". Chuck Close. He makes these HUGE paintings that are so realistic, when i first saw one at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, it was in this room next to a photography exhibit and i thought it was just a huge print, until my friend told me about him and i actually went up and looked at it.

see for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chuck_Close_1.jpg

Im sure there are tons of artists out there doing similar stuff but chuck is the only one that comes to mind right now.
