I’ve seen is art on television when I was young. He was showing the process of the painting each time. His work was simple with a beautiful touch of creativity.

Wouldn’t have thought to give it a look had it not been for the comments, but I’m glad I did. The eye balls were a little creepy though.

I agree with OddNumebr. The eyeballs are a little too creepy. HOWEVER I will say that there some where they don’t even look like hands! Very creative…in a sometimes creepy way.

That was really well done. The flamingo was especially beautiful.

In the first couple of pictures I couldn’t put my finger, so to speak, on what was bothering me about the composition. Then when I saw the female hand I realized it was the hair on the guy’s hands and forearms. The hair was actually a bonus on some of the animals and especially the monster, however, I think overall he should definitely loose the hair.

Agreed about the hair thing. The fuzzy track runner wasn’t very… effectual. I do adore this idea, though.

Arm hair… the guy’s Italian - what do you expect?

This reminds me of lejo (lejo.nu), only lejo doesn’t use paint.

The flamingo is the best, IMHO. The dalmatian is also great.

The finger-turned-pen is just disturbing.

Sonia, thank you- I found your post to be a good explanation of who Mario Mariotti was. So many of us get those pictures forwarded to us without any background on who did them.
