Pe nc il art isn't always about drawing. The first artist also uses nails. [prev iously]

Single character links will never be OK damn it. (Cool sculptures though.)

No form of pencil art may ever impress me again, having seen Ryan Jacque's unbelievable work.

Well it's a good thing these are two character links then, isn't it? I really like this one.

Hah! I read that the post was about pencil art and thought: "awesome, i love pencil art." No surprise that the two prior pencil art links you ref'd are me...

I am totally astounded by the nail art. So simple, and yet boggling.

I bet you could sit in that pencil chair without too much discomfort, like a swami lying on a bed of nails...

JWright will you please explain to me what is interesting about photo-realistic graphite renderings? Why doesn't Ryan Jacque just take a camera out in to nature? He'd come back with the same type of image. Also, where you aware that none of the linked works are drawings before you posted a link to your favorite anal retentive pencil jockey?

Awesome link. Not quite the same, but pencil carvings (actually, more like carved pencils). My personal favourite.

Hooray, my first post was a moderate success! (Also, tickingclock, those carvings appear in one of the previous posts from jonson.)

Not so subtle there, squiddy. Is that jealously or just a complete disconnect from what human beings are supposed to be capable of? If I have to explain it to you, then you'll never get it. Do you think the Mona Lisa (to name a work you're likely familiar with) would have been a wasted effort had a camera been available? Regardless, yeah, I looked at the "pencil art" and wasn't terribly impressed. I think some of it is a little bit neat, but it made me think of Ryan's work, and so I posted it. To me, any one of us on a clever-feeling day could have glued a bunch of pencils together in an interesting pattern. But none of us could ever match work like Ryan's. In my opinion, that puts the 3D Pencil Art in perspective, even though it only shares a name in a toungue-in-cheek kind of way.
