Wow, wow.

I discovered this dude while I was in the US a couple weeks ago, flipping through a copy of an art magazine in the library. When I saw his work I just had to check out his site.

Look at the way he handles colour... lighting, anatomy... he paints just like the old masters of the 18th century. I can't believe he's only 23. *has eight years to catch up to that level of awesome.*

[link] Check this one out. What an effective technique... whenever I'd work with oils I'd always find it annoying when the paint was too wet and dripped down. I loved how he's used it to his advantage.

This guy is my hero.
