Indeed, I do. I was so jealous when someone posted from the west coast about eating crepes filled with Nutella, whipped cream and strawberries, but there was nowhere I could go for that. I was in Cincinnati yesterday and took advantage of Jungle Jim's proximity to pick up some things I can't find in town, and when I saw crepes (which I will NOT make myself), I nabbed 'em! Now I need the other three ingredients.

Reckon the comments in mutiple languages, I think the love for Nutella is a worldwide phenoma. <3 I think Nutella is the key to world peace. ;)

Nope. Neither the chocolate nor the hazelnut flavor seems to pop out to me, it just tastes sweet. I'd rather have the fresh ground chocolate peanut butter from Whole Foods.

No, it's disgusting. The worst such hazelnut cream produced, sticky, oversweet and at the same time flavorless. There are bunches of much better similar creams around, not necessarly hugely more costly: Novi cream is hugely better and still in the same price range!

Alice come on... a little spoon of Nutella could make you less ... :P

- SanalMutfak (M)
@Eta, nutella is disgusting. not hazelnut creams. The point is that nutella has next to no hazelnut in, that's part of what makes it so bad. Again, try some better hazelnut creams, stuff that does not feel like sugary glue in your mouth but rather is silky with a distinct taste of toasted hazelnut. You will taste the difference.

One thing I've learned in my short time on this planet: life is hard to live if there isn't any forgiveness. Which nevertheless doesn't stop me from holding deep-seated grudges for decades at a time.
Oh, I think there are at least a few people who sometimes dream about being forgiven by someone they've wronged.
- Victor Ganata
I agree with you, Pea, holding grudges is exhausting. This is probably why I need so much sleep ;)
- Victor Ganata
No argument there. It's just one psychologist's view of why we forgive.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Of course having a super stressful job doesn't sap one of strength, right, Victor? Hehe
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I do try not to give a crap most of the time. But I learned vindictiveness at an early age, and old habits are hard to break.
- Victor Ganata
There are some things you cant forgive...
- furrworld
I don't think it's possible to forget, Mark...and furrworld, if you can't forgive something then you can't personally move on from that either. Holding that inside gives an abuser much greater power than one should ever allow. And yes, I know it's easier said than done.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Forgetting is really easy. All you need to do is take a scapel to certain parts of your brain.
- Victor Ganata
I can tell you from experience that trying to forget or erase traumatic events is well nigh impossible and only causes more problems than it solves...at least in my case. Green Berets, on the other hand, are seemingly tailor made to be able to compartmentalize extremely well.

Christina's version seems to be there just to provide some common grounds for the audience, even only for dismissal.
- erdems
@ erdem "common" being the key word :)
- grizabella
Madonna is known to be obsessed with MM and has her MM periods. I think her version is pretty nice. Aguilera version on the other hand looks really cheap. bah..
- ippowski
Honestly I don't think Christina is capable of looking anything other than cheap.
- grizabella
It would be a better comparison with Christina Aguilera's in b&w, the colors are horrid. Marilyn seems the most casual, Madonna the most seductive, and Christina the most playful.
- Heather
I'm cool Jason, I just suppose I see things differently is all. And yes, I do have an opinion on the images, but I'm just going to keep that to myself. No need to get the masses swarming.

Even though Madonna looks hawt in that picture, Imma go with Marilyn. She's adorable and sexy. Christina always looks like a cheap imitation.

from fftogo
Thanks Enrique, I'll post some more soon. They are a little more obvious than these ones. As Luke points out; without being able to look closely it's impossible to tell. He's right; but up close it's more obvious. I'll upload the originals to Picasa later, and then you'll be able to zoom in with any photo viewer and see for yourselves. I can't believe how many people liked these. A few people have reposted them already. Thanks!
- Michael Fidler
Absolutely awesome, Michael. You are extremely talented. Everyone should repost these pix and help to make you famous. You should be doing this full time - you obviously have some passion for this. Bravo.
- Chris Loft
These are really beautiful, Michael. Do you sell them?
- Shannon Jiménez
Chris, I would love to say they're mine, but it's not true. I've had them for a while, but I'll find the artists names. It will just require a little backtracking. Besides, they deserve the credit; all I did was find them:-)

Burçak Çubukçu If these were photographs, they would be very good. As Pencil Drawings,(which they are), they're amazing.

@Burçak Çubukçu I can't tell if your serious now or just kidding around. I hope your just having fun! If you are serious, I've never given you a reason to question my integrity, nor do I ever intend to. However, the second set is up now, so judge them for yourself, but don't judge me! http://ff.im/1BJh5 BTW, I messed up and reposted the shot of the women again. Oh well. Hope you like them:-)

Kol, I can't thank you enough! Kol found another post which helps to prove that these are done in pencil. I had my doubts about a few of them because I collected them from several different sites over time, but the site Kol found has done a great job pulling together an impressive collection of these drawings and more. Take a look - http://www.flickzzz.com/2009...

Excellent pictures - how long did it take you to scan the photographs into Photoshop and then edit them? The only pencil that has come into contact with these "drawings" is the Photoshop pencil. A tip - stop trying to fool people into thinking you are a "real" artist, because all you are doing is cheapening proper artist's works whom have spent hours creating real pictures as opposed to a few minutes on a graphics editing package.

Actually, I have learned quite a bit about these drawing since I made this post. Not only have I discovered all of the artists, but I've learned more about how they are created.

There are many other artists besides the ones featured here who practice...

the site spammed above must all be done in pencil too, right, thats why you posted it?
- Iphigenie
I'm amazed that people are still posting these photographs of animals and calling them pencil drawings. This is at least the third case I can remember (and there are probably more) of this happening. The myth about them being drawings was debunked long ago. It's also funny that whenever they get posted the person posting them doesn't make it clear that they aren't the artist, exactly as you have done.
- canadianmaple09
@canadianmaple09 I posted these back in March, 2009 when I was beginning to use FF regularly. I ran them through TinEye hoping to find their source, but it returned no results. When I ran through again yesterday, TinEye returned over four pages of results. If I had it to do over again, would I? Yes
- Michael Fidler
The people you refer do don't join "just to slam" someone, they are concerned members of the online art community that want to see real art appreciated and fake art or photos being passed off as drawings revealed for what they really are. Artists such as Brian Duey, Armin Mersmann, Paul Lung, Zindy Nielsen,and many others do not receive the appreciation they deserve because of scams like this.
- canadianmaple09
canadianmaple09, the worthiness of your motives notwithstanding (and they are worthy, definitely) you could definitely have approached Michael completely differently by say, giving him the benefit of the doubt rather than attacking in a highly accusatory tone.
- Chieze Okoye
When you've seen these same pictures posted multiple times by people that just find them on the internet and claim they are pencil drawings, when it has already been established on multiple occasions that they are not, the "benefit of the doubt" approach seems a little too generous. People post these images and claim they're drawings to get views for their own site or blog or page or whatever it is they post it on. It's wrong and it needs to be stopped.
- canadianmaple09
I can understand that, but you should also keep in mind that everyone is not as well-versed in the issue as you are. All I'm saying is that you would probably be more effective in this case if you weren't setting this up as a us-vs.-them, "must destroy with the validity my argument!" attitude when talking to a guy who's been actively having a discussion on the issue in what seems to me (having been around when he first posted the images and the follow up thread and what not) to be good faith.
- Chieze Okoye
Look at his first comment here. People clearly thought he drew them. He doesn't set the record straight. He also claims that they "are actually pencil drawings" and that "I have more drawings too." Later he claims that you need to look at them closer to see they are drawings and that he will "post the originals". Once again, this makes it sound like they are his. This follows the same...

Greg and Chieze, thanks for your support. I really appreciate it. @canadianmaoles09, for what it’s worth, I share your concerns about giving proper attribution when sharing also. However, I admit that I'm more conscious of it now than I was at the time of this post. Nevertheless, I have never taken credit for anybody's work here other than my own!
- Michael Fidler
BTW, I didn't realize it before, but I just noticed that you're new here too. I hope you like it so far and spend more time here. IMO, friendfeed is still the best thing around!
- Michael Fidler
I would probably qualify as an image analysis expert, but there's no way to prove that online. One thing we can do is look at color. Even though the images are black and white,they're actually RGB images, meaning they contain cyan magenta and yellow. If you look at the image of the rhino you have posted then look at the photo of the rhino at the photographer's site you can see they both...

New Babies: These 2 girls are about 3 weeks old and were found on the street in Sunnyvale. Their mom couldn't have been long on the street, these sweeties already love everyone. They weigh 15oz and 15.2oz = tiny! Both girls are solid black, and I mean solid, no markings anywhere. Athena and I are plotting project tell-them-apart! #foxfosterkittens
I love solid black kitties. Gosh I wish I could adopt one. Well, except for the fact that if my circumstances ever DO allow me to get a cat, I wanna enjoy the kitty time, as well. I wanna get 'em early.

they remind me so much of our kittens when we got them last year... soo adorable :D
- alphaxion
Cecily, you are so right. They are seriously itty bitty itties!! Spidra, I totally get you, but it is rare to have them this young, they really should still be with their mom, but it is better to get them off the street. Most adoptable kittens are about 8 - 10 weeks old. No shelter will give them to you before they are 2 llbs since that is when they can spay or neuter them. UNLESS you foster! :)
