Hello my fellow friends of the arts. I am StrubbleS, your host.
Today I want to present you with Gottfried Helnwein an Austrian artist. Since pictures tell more than words and you can read his wiki article by yourself, I'm gonna be short on words.

I am a sucker for photo realistic painting, so look at the photos of him working on those paintings. Awesome. Would you look at that! http://www.helnwein.de/stc/ghpicts/gh993.jpg a 6x4 meter canvas and all by brush. That's almost insane.
This post is just a small inspiring, feel free to look into his work.

That is 'Punter art' at its best :P
there is another picture of him. It's in Vienna on a building along a busy street. Oil and acrylic, super-sized. It was painted ON the wall (not on canvas and then assembled on the house).
wow! and something of that size takes alot of skill to get the proportions of your subject correct.
Do you know if he takes these photos of these children and works from them?
I don't know, maybe. You can turn his webpage to english and read a lot about him. here
Ah thank you
hes very interesting....i could potentially use him in my college work next year.
Glad I could be of service then
Here are a few watercolour paintings of him, but beware, some of them are quite disturbing.click
Oh i've already seen them! i think they are amazing! I mean if anyones worked in watercolour they would understand how technically amazing these are, as its a hard media to work with to get this precisely!
Also these are very good; http://www.gottfried-helnwein.at/werke/papier/tafel_1.html espcially the child-like drawings, it really gives a creepy feeling, and i think it makes you udnerstand his peices much more.
