Sebastian Kruger

We had a discussion about photo-realistic paintings today in AP ART. I personally admire this type of art, taking in account how much dedication it requires. Even though, Sebastian Kruger is largely known for his caricature illustrations,  and I'm in awe over his photo-realistic paintings.
