I have little to say about
Juan Francisco Casas except: these are not manipulated photos. They are sketched with ballpoint pens.
I doodle very often in class. It helps me relax and concentrate. I always thought pens were a neat medium for art. Because, I thought, they gave the work a very different effect. For example,
this (by me) or
this (also by me). Something a bit Edward Gorey-esque.
But Casas' art demonstrates possibilities of the ball point pen I never imagined. Of course, I suspect these results can only be brought about by a BIC in the hand of a great talent. Check out that girl's hands! They look so real!
