Salvador Dali and his surreal world

Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali i Domenech is one of history's most iconic artists from last century. What made him into such an iconic figure in the art world were both his eccentric attitude and unique and strange and iconic surrealist paintings.

Born in 1904 in Figueres Spain he went to the school of fine arts in Madrid to accomplish his dream of never been forgotten. Not only did he painted, but also created many objects like the lobster phone or the lips sofa. Dali was mostly known for been the most prominent surrealist artists, an art form that is composed of odd unique and unexpected imagery that defies logic in any ways just like the "Spider of the evening hope" shown in the picture.

Alex Ross and his realistic take on classic heroes

When the concept of superheroes in real life might look silly, there is one artist who can easily make all iconic heroes into realistic and epic figures. Alex Ross is perhaps one of the most popular comic book artists around for his amazing art on everything he touches. His work in the world of iconic super heroes of both marvel and dc comics has made a large impact on not only in the comic book industry but in the world of art with his photorealism paintings.

Born in Portland, Oregon, he was raised in a family that was already tied to art. His life was changed when he saw spider-man for the first time on television and was inspired to become an artist. Graduating from the american academy of art, inspired by the likes of Salvador Dali and Rockwell, J. C. he decided that he wanted to paint comics. He Quickly became into the icon that he is now after working on books like "Marvels" and "Kingdom Come".
His style is known as photorealism, a style of painting that aims to replicate a photo. With this style, Ross has made some of the most impossible things like superheroes actually look real and beliavable. That's his charm as he can make anything as ridiculous to a man dressed up as a bat or a super powered alien wearing a bright blue and red costume real and iconic.

Pencil V.S Camera

This picture is part of the series of photos "Pencil V.S Camera"  made by Belgian artist Ben Heine. It's the combination of the use of camera, precision, paper and pencil. With this pieces they are simple pencil drawings filled with imaginary illustrations that covers part of a picture about to be taken and make something amazing out of it.

100% Pencil Drawing

This might look like any well detailed surrealist artwork yet it’s more unique than that. Surreal artist Joe Fenton with only a 0.5 mechanical pencil drew this entire image on a 5 ft high and 8 ft across paper. This is perhaps one of the best pencil drawings I've ever seen. This is 100% mechanical pencil made and took 10 months to finish. This is drawing at it’s finest and is simply amazing.
