Some Rather Amazing Artwork

Here is a little something that I found to be pretty fascinating. Juan Francisco Casas, whose work can be seen below, has some impressive photo quality artwork for you to view. You may look at them and think ‘yes, those are some…interesting…photos’ and if they were photos I would be the first to agree. However, these are drawn using ballpoint pens! This I find to be exponentially more interesting than the photos that they pose to be. They are no small feats either, as is evidenced by the photo with the artist himself in it. Some of the drawings measure up to ten feet in height. Some quotes from Casas give a glimpse of the inspiration behind the pieces:

Casas said: “I guess it started off as a joke, to try and make something so realistic that people would think is a photo.
“I also wanted to create it with something that everyone has – a Biro. I don’t think it has ever been done before.
“For me it’s not that different from painting. I was trying to show that it doesn’t matter what material you use, it’s what you do with it.”

And that about sums it up. How much are you willing to pay for one of these beauties? Well, the market currently demands between 1000 and 5000 Euros or 1400 and 7,100 USD. These are the prices that sixty pieces of his work went for at a recent sale. Have a look at some of the work below!

Cheers.
