    Ok nevermind, below the image of the girl on his page he has info and an FAQ.

    Took aprox. 30 hours to finish. Lost about 20% quality during scanning.

    The size is 8" x 9" or 22,5cm x 20cm.

    Feel free to ask any questions and to comment.

    Thank you.

    FAQ: Due to hundreds of questions and my lack of time to answer them all here are the answers for the most frequently asked:

    Q:How many colors do you have and what pens are these?
    A: I have 8 colored Bic ballpoint pens, for this I used 6 of them plus black. They are just common everyday ballpoint pens.
    Q: Where do you get them? I have never seen them.
    A: Staples, Ebay, Amazon, and pretty much any good office supply store, just because you haven't noticed them before doesn't mean they don't exist.
    Q: Do you use any other medium mixed with the ballpoint pens?
    A: No, I just use ballpoint pens for these drawings. Everything is 100% ballpoint pen.
    Q: How do you mix the colors? How do you blend them?
    A: I don't mix them nor blend them. Ballpoint pen ink dries instantly and can not be erased. I just cross hatch the different colors in layers to create the illusion of blending and the illusion of colors I don't actually have.
    Q: Are you a professional Artist?
    A: No, I'm just a lawyer, art is just a hobby for me, although it takes from 5 to 50 hours to finish each drawing. I started drawing when I was 2.
