I bid you enter, fine onlooker, the abode of the inaugural hebdomadal muse for flights of flippant fancy and works of wonder and discernment. Ok. Ok. I’ll stop being a lexiphane. (grief I hate those kinds of pretentious pseudo intellectuals)
Hey, I love art and creativity of all kinds and I spend a lot of my idle time browsing the Net wishing I could draw as well or take photographs as magnificently or simply appreciating art for the reaction it sparks in those subconscious pleasure (and maybe revulsion) centres in that lump of grey matter we like to think we think with. So, I figured I would make a weekly artsy fartsy type blog entry related to something I found or was amazed by the previous week.
Just a quick note: Not everyone can agree on what constitutes art or not and the appreciation of art is always in the eye of the beholder – what tickles my fancy may not tickle yours. These are things I found interesting (positive or negative does not matter) and you may not.
Theme – Realistic Portraits
Believe it or not, the following images are all drawn artworks, they are not photographic images. Some are done digitally, others with pencil or paints. All are amazing.

Ok, maybe the owl is not a portrait. Who cares. Life is too short.
