This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out...

@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..

there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]
- pb:
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

Possible, yes, Matthew and Sarah will wear Linux onesies. Web and tech donations are always accepted. :-) (Microsoft included!)

Sarah looks adorable in blue! :) She's is really cute and playful!!
- Susan Beebe
Louis, you'd let them wear Microsoft onesies? In Matthew and Sarah's teenage years, how else will they rebel against their Apple-loving dad?

Will we be seeing Sarah holding Braden when he wears his Apple onesie? Or will he be sporting only Droidwear?

WoH, Braden has both. He's too small for all of it though. Yesterday he wore a 6 month size "Geek Beta" shirt from Microsoft. It was plenty roomy. :)

Erkekler güzellik anlayışı olarak ikiye ayrılır derler: Greta Garbo tarzı kadınları seçenler ya da Marilyn Monroe'cular... Ben Greta Garbo derim her zaman... Ya siz?
- Fatih Taşkıran
Hala yanlış yoldasın kardeşim :) Marilyn Monroe tabii ki. Sorulur mu?
- Aziz Aydın
Greta Garbo'nun filmlerini izledin mi Aziz, bence izle hem de ne kadar filmi varsa izle sonra bir kez daha düşün :)
- MugeCerman
Sevgili TT, Aziz'i boşver. O yıllardır öyle; değişmez, büyük sözü dinlemez :) Az önce, Guinness Rekorlar Kitabında Garbo'dan "şimdiye dek yaşamış en güzel kadın" olarak söz edildiği iddiasını da okudum ya, başka da bir şey demiyorum ;) Via: http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Fatih Taşkıran
Arkadaşlar yapmayın, "şirinlik, seksilik" kadar basit değildir Marilyn'i ifade etmek. Anahtar kelime burada "dişi"dir. Greta Garbo güzel olabilir, asil ve tam bir hanımefendi de durabilir. Ama bence "dişi" değildir. Gerçi filimlerini izlemedim, bilemeyeceğim. Bu arada "TT" nedir ya?
- Aziz Aydın
Aziz, "Dişilik" tip ile olmaz, davranışlarda gizlidir. Bence de TT'nin tavsiyesine uy ve bir filmini izle kardeşim. "Dişilik" bu kadar mı asaletle birleşir bir gör Bana hak vereceksin. Dubai'lerden ahkam kesmek kolay. Önce TT'nin anlamını öğren sen :) Sevgili TT, söz sende (öldürücü darbe pası) :)
- Fatih Taşkıran
Özge :) Ya hatun 1905 doğumlu, 1990'da öldü. Yaş 85, el insaf... Belden aşağı vuracaksak bir de Marilyn'i gör derim: http://www.celebritymorgue.com/marilyn... :) Ki Marilyn 36 yaşında öldü. Bilemiyorum artık (Kill Bill modu :D )
- Fatih Taşkıran
FT Üstad, Aziz Üstad filmleri izlesin sonra konuşalım. Ben cani miyim neden öldürücü darbeler vurayım arkadaşımıza. Garbo'nun bakışları onu koltuğuna mıhlamaya yetecektir zaten :) Bu arada TT benim lakabım Tekno Teyze'nin kısaltması sevgili Aziz.
- MugeCerman
Ama bu başlık ikisinin kıyası için sadece (Bu da mızıkçı modu :) )

Bu arada MM'yi sevmediği sanılmasın onun da yeri ayrıdır. GPB en sevdiğim filmlerdendir. Sonra Yves Montand ile oynadığı ve "My heart belongs to daddy" yi söylediği sahne de müthiştir.Ama Garbo tabii farklı.
- MugeCerman
TT işte budur... Aziz'e müstehak... Sen vur, elini korkak alıştırma :) FF erkekleri bıraktı, konuyu kadınlarla tartışıyoruz. Olsun ama, "kadından anlayan kadınlarla" tartışıyoruz :)
- Fatih Taşkıran
Ya tamam... İzleyeceğim hatırınız için. Ama hiç de büyük beklentilerim yok. Şimdiden söyleyeyim ;) Var mı favori filminiz bari? Vaktim boşa gitmesin :) Müge Hanım, sağolun. Artık ben de size "TT" diyebilir miyim?
- Aziz Aydın
Aziz: Anna Karenina, Queen Christina, Grand Hotel... Bu üçlüyü mutlaka gör diyorum, başka da bir şey demiyorum... :)

You know what would be nice? The ability to DM to a list. Say I make a list of people called SoapMakers, and I find a great soap making resource. I'd like to be able to enter the list name SoapMakers in the 'To' field, and this link would be DM'd to anyone on my SoapMakers list that I'm subscribed to.
Bret Taylor mentioned that was on the to-do list during the press conference. Should be on its way.
- Nathan Chase
While you could use e-mail to spread that information, people like myself don't enjoy getting shared links via e-mail. Distribution Lists would be an awesome idea to quickly share information with a select group. I like the idea.
- Joshua
Brian, these services are all similar to a fashion, but they are used differently. Having some sort of messaging integration in to friendfeed is very key to the survivability of the service, I think. There have been many times when I wished I could talk directly to one person about something and instead had to bring the conversation outside to gtalk or MSN Live which can be an unwieldy process at best.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yes. Much easier than typing in all the names. Just like an email list.
- Rodfather
Nathan Chase, do you have a link to that to-do list? I'm curious what else is on it.
- Rochelle
DM to a Room requires people "Accept" your "invite". Not so in lists.
- vijay
Almost Alex, but not quite. Brian, it pretty much is email, but I don't have the email addy for everyone I follow on FF. You can DM a room (though it's not a DM anymore, just a normal post), but not everyone I want to talk to is in that room. And Rodfather: that's it *exactly*. It just makes sense (to me) to have lists serve multiple purposes like that. One list, two different uses.
- FFing Enigma
I haven't found a use yet to DM someone in Friendfeed oddly enough. In a work context, I could certainly see the need. What are some everyday use cases where you just wouldn't use email?
- Lou Paglia
Lou, I follow 1300 people: I don't have email addresses for everyone. Actually, I only have email addresses for maybe 20 at best. If I'm already encouraged to break people up into lists, why not make those lists usable in more than one way?
- FFing Enigma
@Alex @Tina You both make good points, and I agree that in the context of snacking on the FF river, it's too hard for a crowd hanging out in the river to go off into the corner and have a conversation. In that respect, what Tina proposes is exactly what is needed.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
@Rochelle: I think Nathan and I saw it in the same place, Scoble's videos of the demo. You have to go to scobleizer.blip.tv to see them.
- Alejandro
Currently, FF is on a pull-model, i.e subscription. We subscribe to feeds. DMs are push, if I'm not wrong. Therefore, from a architectural perspective, I'm not sure if its such a good idea to mix these models. Perhaps FF can do it in an easy way... but it just goes against the whole subscription/pull model. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
- Ahsan Ali
During press conference (just watched on blip.tv), Bret noted that is on...oh, Nathan said this already. Oops. *grin*

I'm sorry but this is unbelievable:) I'll give credit to the artist upon more convincing proof! The photogenic look of the tiger and lion really helps the artist's case though:)

I'm really happy everyone liked these. They're my most liked entry to date, Thanks! There also seems to be some question about whether these are actually Pencil Drawings.I can assure you that they are.When I get home, I should have the links. I have more drawings, too.
- Michael Fidler
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:-)
- Michael Fidler
Cut the bullshit! :) Photos are very good.
- Burçak Çubukçu
I draw alot in pencil, but they are amazing, the best for me is the girl, that is the most photo-like one. :o)

I agree Rob, the girl is amazing. My favorite by far! Wait until you see it close up! It's really had to tell, even up close!
- Michael Fidler
Burçak Çubukçu If these were photographs, they would be very good. As Pencil Drawings,(which they are), they're amazing.
- Michael Fidler
@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:-)

@Michael: try deviantART, not Picasa, to submit your artworks

- LaFern Cusack
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...
- Michael Fidler
Actually there are more than what this site shows. There's an entire set with the cats(little cats), which I have, and there's a new portrait set.
- Michael Fidler
Found your post here, Michael. :-) I tried my best to find the artists.
- Kol Tregaskes
Amazing and very very very good.... Very impressive ...
- Linda Zeek-Bobinski
Yeah we know, thanks though, James. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
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.

A bell does ring here. And I am remembering why I was so attracted to the tiger...and the lion for that matter. These are exact replicas of prints I had in our bedroom when I lived in Dallas. I had bought the prints (in color) at a department store,

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...

Most of them have portfolio's on deviantart.com and their work is truly amazing even if they are copies of other artists work. I suppose with this level of detail, they have to start with something.

Has anyone ever corrected the record and pointed out, with the exception of the Charlize Theron drawing, that these are indeed photos by Alexander Von Reiswitz?

Erik, thank you for bringing this up again, but I think I already mentioned something about this in my prior comment. However, since it appears that you only signed up to friendfeed to leave a single comment, (ok, why?) I will try to summarize what I wrote previously. In brief, I learned after doing a little research that all photo-realistic drawings like the ones that I shared here,...

- Michael Fidler
I can assure you that what are claimed to be drawings of animals, in your post here, are photos. I used a website to that allows you to do an comparison of the Von Reiswitz photos and the images you have posted here. There are no differences. Every hair matches up. As a pencil artist myself I can tell you that it's pretty much impossible to get that kind of accuracy and have it look...

- Michael Fidler
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...
