Wait, did you really spend 3 days drawing me?

Following that excellent inaugural post by G Greg, I'd like to give all the readers out there a "what up!", and wish them a belated Happy April Fool's Day! Introductions? Sure. I am 24, Canadian, and I love a cold beer as much as the next guy.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am a big fan of technology, and a huge fan of a new discovery (of mine), coined "speedpainting" by some photoshop gurus! However, if I was Scarlett Johansson or Jennifer Love Hewitt, I might be just a little freaked out. A sketch artist, Nico Di Mattia, has a thing for these two and has clearly spent an inordinate amount of time carefully drawing each fine detail of their anatomy ... from scratch! (presented in time-lapse video in approximately 4-6 minutes)

Jennifer Love Hewitt

Although likely amazed, if either of those two happened to come across those videos, they would probably be thinking "Wait, did you really spend 3 days drawing me and capturing it on video?" If I was cruising around the web and stumbled upon a video of myself "speedpainted" by someone else, I honestly don't know what I would do.

It's truly amazing what's on the web these days, and to top off today's list of amazing feats using photo editors, check out this sketch of a sports car using nothing other than Microsoft Paint! That program is so useless, I can barely create a filled-in circle. I'm pretty sure the guy who made the video below falls into one of these categories: (a) he created MS paint, (b) he is using some sort of hacked version, or (c) he is using an MS paint skin on top of photoshop!

Now, and most importantly: If you are reading this blog and can create a drawing from scratch like those above, I WANT one!
