A humble Bic pen

Spanish artist Juan Francisco Casas used up to four 14p BIC ballpoint pens to hand draw these stunningly photorealistic drawings, measuring up to 10ft (3 meters) high. The use of penballs makes his drawings even more peculiar, which certainly has played a big role in his way to success. Juan’s source of inspiration comes from his own photographs of nights out with his friends and his works are a sell-out at exhibitions. This just goes to show sometimes doodling around can be profitable! ;)

Unfortunately even BIC can't help what my teachers used to call hen-scratch in school. Another said my handwriting was atrocious and then made me look up that word. lol. These are great!

He must be a babe magnet! :)

It's so hard to believe he can do this with ink pens. That's incredible!
