The Human Camera : AMAZING

The artwork gallery on his page is phenomenal. I can't get my head around the detail in his drawings. Quite simply incredible.

Looking at his originals for sale, I can see he probably has made a fair few bob too.

Good stuff.
 
unbelievable, Does he just remember pictures and scenary ect ? or can he remember everything, as in could he remember the answers to a college exam in X lesson, and do 100% correct ?

Immense though.
 
The crazy thing is, this geezer would have been burned as a witch (or warlock?) only a few hundred years ago.

He probably doesn't know what money is.

Maybe his hawt (going by the drawing) GF does though...

I'm sure he lives quite comfortably anyway. Looking at his work makes me want an original. Shame about the £££ though!!
 
God,

And I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday.

Yet some people would say he's "dumb" or a "spastic" (you know the type of people I'm on about).

Also his artwork is really good, regardless of the whole memory thing - Not easy to start like he does (dead in centre, no scetch/outline) and bring it all together so well!

Utterly amazing, I would love to own an original!
 
Amazing stuff. I remember a chap in the year above when I was at school - he would reel off the previous weeks 'Final Score' show, along with Countdown (complete with adverts and sound effects). Absolutely mind blowing really, sometimes hilarious (I defy anyone to not laugh at him singing the Bodyform For Yooouuuu ad) but ultimately tragic. He couldn't leave the lunch table unless he'd cleaned absolutely every single crumb up....

I taught a boy with severe autism until he left around Christmas time. He had no social awareness, and a foot fetish. I've had to stop him, several times, from a session of vigorous pocket billiards.
 
I don't usually like art but his work is amazing. (aside the memory thing)

I'm definitely gonna buy a few prints. Gutted the calendar is sold out.
