I myself am an artist. I like to draw. And paint occasionally. I'm not that good though. I like realistic looking things. I fail at drawing/painting realistically.
Ron Mueck however...
If you don't know who Ron Mueck is, you're about to find out.

Ron Mueck is a hyperrealist sculptor, and he's hella good to be quite frank. (He's also Australian. Which is good.)
I've had the amazing privilege to see two of his sculptures up close and personal at the National Art Gallery in Ottawa for a school trip.
(I saw this one, entitled "A Girl". All of my friends thought it was fucking creepy/messed. I think it's genius. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BABY_byRonMueck.jpg)
(I also saw this. I'll admit, this one is super duper scary. From: http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/media/imageGroups/75/display If you want a bigger view: http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2373112660089947214cocuqY)
They're so eerily real.
