In general I am amazed and impressed by artists. Especially since I long to be able to draw or paint or write or anything. But I am really impressed by artists who can create something so much bigger then themselves and still get the detail, proportions, mood, and feeling accomplished so well. How do they picture this huge thing in their mind and then just work on a small portion at a time and still get it right? Hmm.
While I’m right there with you on all of your points, I should mention that I *think* in this case the image is the result of doing a normal sized drawing, scanning it in, printing it out huge on a plotter, and pasting it onto the wall like wallpaper. Still, when I do see large-scale works of art done the hard way I’m blown away for exactly the reasons you described!

Thanks for sharing this. I dig it.
