If the photos are as good as the paintings, are they not art as well? Don't we admire and praise photographers who can capture a moment in time and make it iconic? I'd love to see the photography he works from.

It's actually easier to not paint over a photo as the oil thinners damage photos so you would not be able to make one mistake. Anyone who sees this art and is amazed understands, anyone who says stupid things like it's a scam or what's the point knows nothing about painting. These paintings are stunning I could look at them all day they are alive with the energy of artist and subject. All the greats were controversial though, nothing changes.

Not that he does that, have you tried it it's easier to not paint over a photo, as soon as you have to use oil thinners the photo would be damaged so you are back to copying from photos again. Using photos for photo realism has been used since the beginning of photo realism. Anyone who sees this painting and is amazed understands what is involved.
