This is so impressive. The fact, especially, that he doesn't use any electrical tools, but still does it the traditional way. This is a tedious task, that takes a LOT of discipline and attention to detail. I appreciate the crap out of people like this.
I wasn't expecting the "scraping" effect to make the "paper". The colors seemed even more vibrant. Gorgeous, gorgeous work...
