Loz, Vogueboy and Steve are a bunch of imbeciles whose only success in life has been to find their way successfully to the emeployment offices. Photoshop crap has NOTHING to do with this. It’s art, pure and simple. Get your heads out of your asses and open your eyes, you might learn something. Morons!

It isn’t real art for me. This guy have skills,but not-so-real paintings are much more beautiful! It looks like an ordinary photo…nothing special…

A load of bull…. This is a photograph. As an artist (photographer and painter), I totally agree with vogueboy and Cesar Santander. No matter how good an airbrush artist he is, its shameful that he’s trying to impress people with something he didn’t do and try to take the credit for it.

What’s the point if your’re not going to apply any of the “artist’s interpretation” as Blair calls it? Just take a picture and save the other 69 hours and 55 minutes for something else.

I really have to disagree. I believe the artist is completely in the painting. A lot of people will probably argue with this, I believe because they can’t do it themselves, but I think art is being able to mimic something. I mean the oldest paintings we know of were attempts to accurately convey something. Not necessarily exactly, but the better conveyed, I think the more the talent. I mean seriously, few people can do this. I think it’s art in its most pure form. I don’t respect artist’s work made by an artist that can’t do realism to at least some reasonable degree. Or at least mimic something in some accuracy in their own style like in a cartoon. But if all they ever do are random lines on a piece of paper then I think they are overrated. I have been working on photorealism and I’m close. People will ask me if my works are photographs but I easily see they aren’t and they aren’t nearly as good as this. Anyone entering the artprize.com competition?

While technically impressive there is no style… nothing of the artist in this airbrushed painting… he is nothing more than a slow photographer using the wrong equipment!

I have been airbrushing for 30 years and I am considered one of the best photorealistic technicians in the world. I feel certain that although Dru Blair has produced many accomplished
paintings of aircraft and objects, this portrait has texture and detail which indicate a photographic source. It could not have been done in the simple way or in the short period of time that the explanation shows. It seems to be an exercise in self-promotion designed to fool
the vast majority of viewers who simply do not know any better.

It really isn’t quite as impressive as you all might think. Achieving such a convincing effect in airbrush is rather easy when compared to photo-realistic work done with traditional oil paint. Here are just a few examples of paintings done with traditional oil paint. –

Now I’m not railing against Blair’s work. He is very skilled and has really mastered his medium, but give credit where credit is due.

Who in the world would seriously think it was fake? Perhaps you armchair detectives can tell me how he would then proceed to ‘photoshop’ his seminars? If nothing else, people’s disbelief is a testament to the skill of the artist.

It’s real. This guy was featured in Airbrush magazine a while back. His work is amazing.

Elementary photoshop work. I could do that, along with every 6th grader who can click a mouse.
