2:25 am
them to modulating light and shade i need just the right color and an absolutely compatible shape of the best thing. every shoe is like a brush stroke the work is based on a photo of thomas mucha. this pile of computers lamps and other electronics conceals a portrait of nikola tesla the great pioneer of electrical engineering. it takes the artist about 2 months to complete a project like this. a precise sense of visual proportion is vital when assembling the elements 2. when i do a portrait of a world famous figure i really have to be exact right down to the millimeter for that person to be recognizable in the end. so i've always got to be checking to be sure it's right i have to go to the viewer spot and check everything again and
