When someone has already been hailed by BoingBoing and Drawn, I usually don’t feel the need to add to the plaudits. Who really deserves that much praise? Well, Cali Rezo does, as it happens. Her digital paintings are absolutely stunning and contrary to what your first impressions are likely to be, they aren’t just touched up photographs. You can also buy prints of some of her work or commision her to do a portrait. Someone left a comment at the Drawn post asking what was the point of going to such painstaking lengths to create a picture that looks like a touched up photograph. Which is a bit like asking what is the point of being exceptionally talented and clearly enjoying what you do. I would like to say more on the subject but between Cali’s site and her blog, I suspect I’m going to be very busy for a while.
