his girl-paintings are fantastic

Wow - those girls are hyper realistic!
Am I that old, or are these girls bloody young?
Almost too young?

Lemi - wikiart is also available as free app. I installed it on my ipad, it's even much better and more convenient.

But I'm blown away by those paintings, too, just wonderful and humbling!

Something from the kids programs when I was growing up came back to me when I started playing with this software:

Aha, that's a fun style, too. That stop motion stuff looks like it should've been so much more, though...kind of a pity. I don't think I could watch more than a few minutes of that, while the style is really fun. Great stuff, though, all in all. Certainly has a perfect place here in the "inspirations" thread!

The photographer is Josie Iselin, she is using a flatbed scanner to get these fantastic images. I suppose she uses a backlit light to get this translucent effect.
I've just ordered the book, "An Ocean Garden: The Secret Life of Seaweed".

Pahaha, that's so cool, Gbo! For a moment I thought it was some amazing Verve experiment!
Very cool!
