paintings on pencils by ghostpatrol
posted by the scholar on September 2nd, 2008filed under: art, mixed media, paintings
look at these unusual acrylic and ink paintings from the mysterious melbourne-based multimedia artist ghostpatrol. they’re precisely painted onto rows of yellow pencils, which have been carefully stripped of their color in the image area. the subjects and the ultimate results are perfectly meticulous and just a little bit spooky.
see much more at the ghostpatrol website, where you can purchase select art pieces and contact the artist.

If these pencil-paintings looks spooky to you, what you have to say about the Brian Detmer’s Book Autopsies: http://centripetalnotion.com/2007/09/13/13:26:26/ ? 🙂
