Incredible Ballpoint Pen Art - Part 2.

We have seen the amazing work of Spanish artist Juan Francisco Casas, which impressed all; now we have the ballpoint portraits by Florida artist Jesse Starr which we are sure is going to impress all equally. He creates photo realistic art using ballpoint pens. His latest work is the portrait of Christopher Walken. It was created using '7' Bic 1.2mm pens (they don't run out of ink but they do break after a while and start to lay uneven amounts of ink, when that happens he has to start with a new pen). It is by far the most technical and detailed one yet, and it took about 25-30 hours to complete. He created his first ballpoint portrait back in 06. Amanda Stevens is (black and white girl) involved in the comic book that Jesse illustrates and is also a character. Leighann (girl holding the guitar) is friend of Jesse who took the photo by herself, and Jesse created the ballpoint portrait. If you are interested to purchase the portrait of Christopher Walken, it's for sale.

It's the advertisements that suggests weight loss; helps one keep fit and have an attractive and beautiful body. Here we have a few interesting and creative weight loss promotion advertisements that we are sure will make one think of their weight.

Sport Batel Gym - Elevator This advertisement was created keeping businessmen and women in view; stickers were placed in elevators of commercial buildings which made the floor panel work like a weighing scale, with the floor numbers now converted into the kilograms going up and down. Apart from the weight unit (kg), the sticker had a message about the benefits of working out.

MyBody Gym: 'It's time to join MyBody Gym'. This one is really cute; the baby elephant is following the overweight lady instead of his/her elephant mom.

Fitness First - Bus Stop: Another beautiful and creative concept; this advertisement was created by N=5 for Fitness First. A bus stop bench was converted into a scale that will display the weight of people sitting on it, or reminding overweight people its time to join the gym.

No diet, No …..: In this advertisement, beautiful wedding cakes were prominently displayed at popular cake shops. And the groom figurine atop the cake was overweight and the bride was missing. It was to drive home the message that a fit body increases one's attraction quotient. Or that reminding overweight people that they're unattractive & will never marry.
