Who is the most talented person on your facebook? Mine is a dude I went to every year of school with who is an artist. He was always a good drawer in school but what he produces now is utterly amazing I reckon. Here is an example of some of his works.

Sorry for the low-res I got them off his facebook. Now I don't really know art but I think they are incredible. He should do artwork for video games!

edit: removed broken link. His name is Joel Rea you can search for his fanpage on FB if you want to see the rest.

I quite like those, might have a look later.

awesome skills at drawing waves, i would imagine its not the easiest thing to draw and look real. even the first ones waves look awesome.

wave paintings / drawings / pictures are my favorite

He's really into water isnt he

But this type of stuff when an artist tries to depict imitate real life on canvas is what I think is art, this modern 5 year old finger painiting types are wrong

Some chick on mine from primary school is an interior decorator and did the interior of most of the big clubs in the valley and now is working in new york. Dunno how talented she is, but interesting job.

Most other people I have on there are talented at having babies, and being bogans.

^
(for clarity i've inserted this message: the above statement and below statement are not related)
v

So I'm probably the most talented.

fuck me. i thought they were shops too. those are absolutely incredible, would love to see them in person... does he have anything hanging in a gallery in se qld?

of course art being art the guy will probably struggle to be successful because photorealism isn't new and the arty bullshit that sells you to galleries is pretty tough when the bullshit isn't quite so thick. dude would have been a god in NY 80s though.

I think he sold his last painting for 20k. He doesn't work, he only paints and from the look of his studio he seems to be doing okay.

The first and last pic in the OP were cool, the other two were a bit meh, looks like he uses photo reference too as I don't believe anyone can paint like that from memory.

Also I have a ton of game artists colleagues on my Facebook so it's not an easy task to pic the best, but I'll go out on a limb and say me :P

thats awesome to hear. its so unfair when truly brilliant artists get shadowed by the most ridiculous bullshit... like lars from metallicas crap selling for millions or the 5 year old picasso rip off prodigy types - basically the sideshow freaks of art instead of the hard working talents.

edit: quick gis turned up his name and hes obviously a pretty well known artist.

Was so confused as to whether or not this was a computer game or real life racing... the fuck does being a v8super car driver have to do with being good at racing games? and why do you call him the fastest driver you know if its a game?
