I'm a HUGE Art Fan & read tons of art books & magazines, I'm an art museum member, go to many local art events/shows, etc...So, when I see quality, I know it! I don't mean for that to sound arrogant or anything, ha ha! I'm just trying to make a statement that I know ART really really well. Yesterday, while surfing the net, I discovered an artist named Mike Hill. His art work is amazing! No, it's insane!! Mike is an extremely super-talented sculptor & when you look at the faces of his art pieces you know EXACTLY who that person is. If it's Christopher Reeve as Superman it doesn't look like some generic Superman, the face looks exactly like Mr. Reeve & nobody has to tell you it's him. In fact you might think you're looking at a perfect photograph of the actual person. I mean this as a compliment to the artist but it's almost kinda creepy, ha ha! It's creepy how extremely hyper-realistic his art is & that's very hard to do. The photos up above should prove my point. Please take a moment to look at the 1st photo on the left. If I didn't tell you who it was, & especially if there wasn't a "Dark Knight Joker picture" right next to it, you would instantly know that it's Heath Ledger's face. Look at the eyes, mouth, nose...oh my god, it's Heath! He not only captures the basic "look" of the person but it even has some of their charm & personality....creepy! OK, I don't want this post to go on forever & ever because I'm kinda boring, ha ha, but after checking out the Bat-Blog please visit this artist's website. The piece up above is meant to be a tribute to Heath Ledger & if you think that's amazing you'll love the rest of his stuff, enjoy. Oh yeah, one last thing, please bookmark this blog before you go & be sure to tell all your friends about it!
