Ever since I read The Iron Council [possible spoilers] and saw Uzumaki I've been somewhat leery of spirals.

Now I have the jibblies.

With Faber-Castell™ Artist Pen™’s amazing precision and control!

Smoke and Vermeers ... and, of course, Dali practice.

On the one hand, awesome and impressive. On the other hand, algorithm.

How?

I'm guessing he's tracing — IOW, under the sheet, visible to him but not in the video, are both a print of the Vermeer and a set of concentric circles on acetate. With practice, he has gotten the knack of varying the thickness of the line to create the image.

Apropos, Van Gogh had vertigo.

I'm guessing he's tracing

Or he's talented and/or savant. We've seen more impressive feats of visual memory.

Wow – this guy could draw circles around most artists.

Ow, ow, ow. That was pun-ishing, Kabanos.

Yeah, the amazing part is if he's not referencing anything. Other than that we had to do this in Drawing 2.

Netflix has Uzumaki. I can't wait!

Umm ... kind of a 'double' (from 1649). Claude Mellan's 'Sudarium'. [description] [detail].

Also, has anybody heard of any kind of Photoshop plugin that can do this?
