you know you've hit rock bottom as an artist when you're doing wedding photos.

i wish they had a more close up view to see his actually pen marks.

yes. I'd love to see some of the technique. I always found a good ball point pen didn't get the recognition it deserved in the artworld.

they did revolutionize the world of hand held ink distribution devices.

Technically amazing...but the name Cockburn pretty much doomed the guy from birth.

OK. I'm an idiot. Thats the name of one of his portraits...
I'll leave now.

i saw grid lines in a few of the more close up images, so i'd say he's using a grid technique which simply involves setting up a grid on the source image and then rendering the tinier image in each square to ensure the overall picture is proportional. i did this in high school modeling myself after my favorite artist chuck close who uses a similar technique. it works well for ink blotting too.

I used to do the grid stuff in elementary school. +1 point.
Anyway, I would like to see some higher res. images as well. Kind of unsatisfying at, like, 400 x 500 or whatever they are.
