Art Exhibit: Scrapbook Inspires Art

For my grandmother's 87th birthday, my mother gave our family copies of my grandmother's scrapbook.  I've enjoyed having this so much that after some thought decided to use the scrapbook as the inspiration for a collection of works titled Quilt.  The mixed media paintings and drawings are on exhibit now through October in Lake Village, Arkansas at the Guachoya Art Center.

Unbelieveable Drawings: Not Photographs

If you were to see these images without any information to the contrary you would believe you were seeing photographs.  Yet, these are the amazing hyper realistic drawings of artist Dirk Dzimirsky.  The artist layers his drawings focusing on every detail to achieve unbelievable realistic results.  Dzimirsky says you can't see a non-photoshopped image in magazines these days, so Dirk draws exactly what he sees as he sees it.  Drawing every imperfection, with beautiful results, check out his drawings.
