Amazing! This guy does these paintings with a ballpoint pen. p>simko: Ballpoint Pen Drawing by Juan Francisco Casas… They may look like pin-sharp photographs - but these amazing pictures are actually drawings created with the humble ballpoint pen. The stunning pictures, measuring up to 10ft high, were drawn by Juan Francisco Casas. Casas, 31, can use up to four 14p ballpoint pens for a canvas. Formerly a traditional painter, Juan began the drawings three years ago based on photographs of nights out with his friends. [Casas] admires the “simplicity” of the ballpoint pen, invented in 1938 by Hungarian Laszlo Biro. Casas said: “I guess it started off as a joke, to try and make something so realistic that people would think is a photo. I also wanted to create it with something that everyone has - a Biro. I don’t think it has ever been done before. For me it’s not that different from painting. I was trying to show that it doesn’t matter what material you use, it’s what you do with it.” The only drawback is that he can’t erase any errors. He said: “Mistakes are the main problem. It’s better if I make them at the beginning.” (via)
