    Daniel-san is looking like the long-lost brother of Vasquez from Aliens. But Charles Bronson is bad ass.

    I’m glad to see they’ve had two sales now; their work is great and fills that void between painted canvas and painted velvet quite nicely!

    Impressive. Especially considering the medium. Could be a train wreck, but it isn’t.

    I’m totally sending this link to my mum. She doesn’t quite “get” why I love Regretsy, but she’ll appreciate Mr. Bronson. (her words: “Charlie is my man!” and Dad doesn’t care).

    Molly Ringwald has never looked better. Seriously. But I’m not sure what her lips are doing in Nick Cage’s hair…

    I did a similar project (on a much smaller scale) with my students and was amazed at how tedious and tricky it actually was. $200 is reasonable.

    this must take an insane amount of work. not my cup of tea, but these people are not charging for vague “artistic value” but hard work.

    I am absurdly proud that I correctly identified the last one as Harry Dean Stanton but I openly yearn for the Bubbles portrait.

    I can’t have art that advertises how infrequently I dust. What do you do to clean it, vacuum it?

    Yes! I love this seller- I favorited their “Some Kind of Wonderful” art a while back…I love the “Karate Kid” and “Breakfast Club” stuff, too…makes me think of my childhood in the 80′s and I get all nostalgic and shit. Okay, enough of that ;-)

    It wouldn’t matter if these were made out of navel lint, fairy dust or pulp, they’re just plain good , with plenty of graphic & surface interest .
    For a split second tho’,I wavered between the last one being Jeremy Irons or Harry Dean Stanton.

    Where Van Gogh meets velvet painting! I though HDS might have been William Burroughs, but that’s too spooky.

    @#19, I’ve actually seen the work of an artist who uses dryer lint as her medium. She takes donations, too, but I understand she’s pretty specific about how you need to wash your laundry if you’re going to give her lint (which I could understand; she got far more colors going on in her work than you’d think are possible from the medium).

    I’ve made a few yarn paintings. They aren’t hard but take up a lot of time. Mine aren’t quite as awesome because I was sort of practicing a just made copies. I did that Dylan silhouette poster with the colored hair and a Roy Lichtenstein painting in yarn. They look nice since there are big blocks of solid colors as opposed to shading. :p

    That Charles Bronson portrait is amazing, looks like he’s getting ready to kick Jaws’ ass.

    I remember trying to do some “yarn art” many years ago, and I wound up with a big pile of yarn scraps glued in a large mound, 2 cats and my hands covered with glue, and bits of yarn glued in random places all over my apartment.

    Mad props to this artist!

    I admire anyone who can make a picture look like the person. As a crocheter, I’m in awe that this is yarn!

    Hey what’s this … नोएल एक्मन्

    I’m getting ‘Noel Eichman’ … thoroughly confused. Who is this and why the devanagiri script for a western name. ??????
