Children’s doodles painted realistically. These paintings by Dave DeVries are part of The Monster Engine, an 11 year art project:
The process is simple. I project a child’s drawing with an opaque projector, faithfully tracing each line. Applying a combination of logic and instinct, I then paint the image as realistically as I can. My medium is mixed—primarily acrylic, airbrush, and colored pencil.
The results are cute, and a little scary at the same time. See more here, and buy the book here.
In relation to my last post, while perusing Sean Edward Whelan’s portfolio, I saw the above painting. It kind of reminds we of that movie Moon, and has a retro sci-fi feel.
The intricate drawings of Sean Edward. The Fox is Black has an interesting feature on artist Sean Edward Whelan and his amazingly detailed pencil drawings.
Sean Edward Whelan is an artist and illustrator living in Japan. (I think he grew up in Australia.) Many of his pencil illustrations are part of a series wherein human figures are drawn as masses of jumbled architecture.
Read more on The Fox is Black, and see more of the artist’s work on his website or flickr photostream.

I heard there were some fairly major traffic snarls yesterday on a few of our finest bridges. It’s bound to happen with bridges. Here’s the idyllic depiction, simple black & white poster illustrations from a map called BC Government Lower Mainland Highway Traffic System, seen at the VPL Special Collections, SPEMAPC 912.71133 B8623L 1960. This souvenir map was issued to celebrate the opening of The Second Narrows Bridge, August 25th, 1960.
