  1. I just looked through all of his drawings and I think we should choose this artist next time for Art Class. This guy is incredible, Not only is he an incredible artist, but he has incredible ideas, he could either be a genius or incredibly crazy.

  3. the pictures of the forest and trees were really cool. I like how he makes it look like a photograph, and at the same time, you know its a drawing.

  4. I like how he draws. I agree with Chris that we should show this to our art teachers to do something like this. It is incredible how people have different talents do something like this.

  5. His painting are really cool. There are some that confuse you into thinking that it is a picture, it's like a brain teasser. I've never know of this painter nor his painting, until now. He is a really good artist.

  7. His paintings are very interesting. They are also very cool. it is interesting to see how artists all draw differently from one another. maybe it is something to do with the fact that they are all different people...

  8. I found an interesting thing about his drawings. He doesn't use many colors, but they look mysterious, and they remind me of fairy tales.

  14. wow his drawings are really cool, I wish I could be a good artist. I don't even qualify to draw a triangle correctly. In a sense I'm glad I don't take art any more, it wasn't my forte.

  15. This is a good and cool picture, is like dinosaur look to a human and both look the moon. Also that would can a picture make by a computer or a real picture, if is real that was very hard pictures because have so much detail.

  16. Seba, I think he makes his pictures by drawing and using computer programs like Photoshop.

  17. They make my Mothers Day drawings look pathetic. They are the best drawings I have seen in a long time.

  18. Drawing something like what Dan McCarthy has done, at my artistic level, seems hard. Yet I can't deny its awesome style! Just seeing those two human skeletons and with the dinos on its back is mind blowing!!
