Photorealism
I just don't know if I can believe this is a painting. I don't know enough about photoshopery or art to know if this is possible. Im confused, can someone who knows these things please explain?
Edit: Actually this guys site is pretty cool, especially the spinny cube thing on his front page. www.drublair.com/

It seems so worthless in today's day and age of photoshop. Pretty much anyone with a bit of talent can take a real picture, then overlay some faint imperfections to make it look like a painting. I wish he took video.

It looks like he made the outline stuff
then showed the work in reverse to
make it look that way!
just my opinion! :|

Yeah same here
I don't believe that's real, just a good hoax.

i'm suspicious
looks just like a photo to me, why on earth spend hours and hors to paint something to look like a photo? just take a photo!!
the lack of any texture on the paper vexes me.
i am sure the guy will see comments like this as praise for his "art", but i cannot see any merit in it.

The guy on the far right of the pic towards the bottom looks like Silent Bob.

It's extremely hard to tell
which is the point really - also, he uses an airbrush to blend colours and achieve an even, flat surface. Seeing as airbrush techniques (or these days, airbrush effects) are used to touch up photographs, we're used to reading that as a norma way for a photograph to look.
I'm an artist. I have no idea if he painted this himself (there are enormous leaps in the transitional pictures of him painting it, but then it may all look messy until he gets to certain points, beyond which it looks real) but in any case...ugh. Groo...

A guy called Chuck Close was doing this kinda thing
back in the 60's/70's on a much much larger scale.
He's an amazing artist and also an amazing man, if you ever get the chance to see a documentary called 'Chuck Close, Close Up' I highly reccomend watching it.

Totally a photograph
Also such a painting could not be acheived in the said timescales.
