WOW! I’ve seen and it’s still hard to believe!
To say they’re impressive is an understatement.

Very nice. I took a drawing class a few years ago, and there was a guy in it who could produce work similar to this, where a drawing looked like a photograph, within an hour or less. The first comment the teacher made when he saw his work was "I don't think I have anything to teach you."

However, as the class went on, I noticed that while he could always produce a near photographic reproduction, that was all he could do. He could not do any sort of artistic reinterpretation of anything. It wasn't even halfway through the course when I lost interest in seeing his work. After all, if I wanted something like he produced, I could just take out a camera and take a picture. I was a lot more exited by seeing other people's work, especially ones who constantly improved.

How can this be considered art? Where’s the urine? Where’s the shredded American flag? Where are the paint drips and splatters?

Yes, but we are not seeing the drawings themselves, are we? First question is, how big are the originals? It seems that in these images, the pencil strokes are not resolved. I don't mean to take anything away from the artist, but I'm loath to believe this technique is beyond understanding.

Wonderful drawings.

But how come they’re all gray cats? Why no orange tabbies?

:-)

Interesting cat drawings. Of cats, not by cats.

How did he get the cats to remain so still while he was drawing their protraits / S

One of my favorite books when I was a child was about a cat named Miss Sniff. It was all illustrated with pencil, or charcoal, drawings. I passed it on to my own daughter, and my grandchildren enjoy it.

I used to do pencil drawings. I can say from experience, this guy’s talent and skill is beyond incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Thank you for posting, Mr. Lung does incredible work. It is obvious that he loves his subjects.

My Ragdoll Jasper was sitting on my lap as I scrolled through the gallery. He wanted the "other kitties" to come out and play!
