No, they¿re not photographs: Astonishing acrylic paintings which are so detailed they look like they were taken on a camera
By Damien Gayle Published: 11:28 GMT, 9 June 2012 | Updated: 14:56 GMT, 9 June 2012 With their spectacular use of focus and reflected light, these incredible artworks look like carefully composed still-life photographs. But in fact they are all painstakingly rendered on canvas with acrylic paints by Canadian artist Jason de Graaf. The hyperrealistic paintings, which almost appear as if they are computer generated, are like freeze frames of a world more magical than our own - inspiring the term Magic Realism as a description.

Romulo's Celdran Hyper Realism First these are not pictures. It’s a fact ! When I saw Romulo’s art for the first time I’ve told myself. “No f…..n way, this can’t be true” And I’m pretty sure that your reaction is going to be the same and not only for the paintings, the sculpture too. He draws as a maniac in the whole sense of the word.

From the roadway perspective, we not only travel from one place to another, we see landscape in a varied and complex manner. I use water on the windshield to create a shifting lens for the way we see the environment: it both highlights and obscures our viewing. Perspectives slip and compress, while shapes and colors merge into one another. Check him at www.gregorythielker.com Enjoy The Gallery Just stumbled on this. Leave a Reply

Sketchbook speed sketch - Camera Concept tutorial It's easy to start with a simple block form in perspective of an existing camera...then you can sketch your new concept design over it KaleidoCamera lens insert would give any DSLR Lytro-like powers (VIDEO) by Tim Barribeau posted Friday, July 19, 2013 at 12:30 PM EDT Your digital SLR can take absolutely incredible images but have you ever wanted it to be able to do more? Like limit the polarity of light coming in, without needing a filter? Or isolate down to specific light spectrums? The KaleidoCam has been developed by a team at Saarland University, and will be presented at this year's SIGGRAPH show. The basic premise is that the light entering the KaleidoCam is altered by either a diffuser or pupil matching system, and then it is multiplied with a kaleidoscope-like array, creating many versions of the scene. In a detailed scientific paper accompanying the news, the researchers explain how it can be used for multi-spectral imaging, high-dynamic range photography, planoptic light field work, as well as polarization.

The new sensor made from graphene, is believed to be the first to be able to detect broad spectrum light, from the visible to mid-infrared, with high photoresponse or sensitivity. This means it is suitable for use in all types of cameras, including infrared cameras, traffic speed cameras, satellite imaging and more. Not only is the graphene sensor 1,000 times more sensitive to light than current imaging sensors found in today's cameras, it also uses 10 times less energy as it operates at lower voltages. Graphene is a million times smaller than the thickest human hair (only one-atom thick) and is made of pure carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure. "We have shown that it is now possible to create cheap, sensitive and flexible photo sensors from graphene alone.

Rajacenna Draws Celebrity Portraits Rajacenna is an 18-year-old self-taught artist from the Netherlands who draws the most realistic portraits I have ever seen, using only pencils. I’m a big fan of realistic drawings, and I’ve previously featured amazing works like the pencil drawings of Paul Lung, the ballpoint pen portraits of Juan Francisco Casas, or Cristina Penescu’s detailed scratchboard masterpieces, but at only 18 years of age Rajacenna is in a league of her own. Born in 1993, she started modelling for various Dutch companies when she was only 4, and at 5 years old she made her first appearance on television. She starred in films, soap-operas and tv-series and at 12 she became the host of Kinderjournaal, the first Dutch web-tv for kids. She only took up drawing in 2009, and although she had never taken any art classes she produced some stunning pieces. Reddit Stumble

Vibrant Knife Painting - Scene 360 - The Online Film and Arts Magazine - StumbleUpon Follow @Scene360: Beautiful/Decay Cult of the Creative Arts - StumbleUpon Gabriel Moreno does beautiful work with such basic materials: a pen and a brush. His illustrations begin in black and white, upon which Moreno builds, adding layers of color and images of other places and people tattooed into their skin. Flowers, birds, and faces organically expand from his subjects, as if a rush of creativity, or a dream, is escaping them.
