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? :]

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)

- 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:-)

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:-)

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.

- Kol Tregaskes
Amazing and very very very good.... Very impressive ...
- Linda Zeek-Bobinski
Yeah we know, thanks though, James. :-)

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...

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...

You're not going to believe this, but I didn't get a chance to hear this when you posted it, and then MWM linked me to the band's MySpace, and I just started randomly listening and was like, hey, great drum work. I SWEAR I thought that before I even looked at the people in the band and realized it was your band! I really like your sound.
- Jandy
Love the intro (guitar is fun). Drums great throughout. Please let me know where to find a website or something for your band, Nathan! This is just up my alley!

Michael & Jandy - wow! that's awesome! :) How did you come across the band, Michael?
- Nathan Chase
I don't know *piss-poor memory* :P It may have been via Cherrypeel, as I was going through emails earlier of sites I've signed up for but had forgotten about. But I cannot recall for certain.
- Michael W. May
Yeah, Cherrypeel might be it. That's really the only other place other than MySpace and Facebook that we have songs up online.

It could have been Myspace, but I don't see what would have led me to your page. I did end up there, though *points to friend request and blog sub*

Time for a Big Idea Discussion (after a lengthy drought). Today, let's talk about relationships. What constitutes a romantic relationship? That is, say you're in one - how do you know? It seemed obvious until I stopped to think about it. Is there something for you that is mandatory for a relationship (e.g. sex, compliments, shared finances)?
This seems to lead to questions about the purpose & function of a partnership, and that's okay too. If you're new to Las Ideotas, the first rule is that there really aren't any rules. Go off topic, it's all good.
- Lo the Baker
If I'm in a romantic relationship, sex/intimate touching/making out better be part of it. Otherwise, we're just close friends.
- Mary Carmen
But Mary, how about all those guys caught up in a one sided romantic relationship with you?
- topernic
I think it's definitely based on physical, mental and emotional intimacy. If you don't have all three, in my mind, it's not a romantic relationship...or at least not one that's built to last.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I'm pretty sure that there is no one out there pining for me. And as far as one-sided relationships go, you never know until you try. I always tell people to go for it. I agree with Alex's comment.
- Mary Carmen
In case you're wondering, what prompted this question is my current "relationship." It's so far from my expectations I have a hard time using the word "boyfriend" (tend to default to "roommate"), and that's had me thinking about what exactly I expected instead.

How about: not what you expect, but what you WANT in a relationship with another person.

difficult to define - if it's a romantic relationship, there's some sexual aspect, but I expect other layers of intimacy, not the least of which are honest discussions about deeper topics than video games, and a willingness to claim they are in a relationship.

- Rah-PM 2012
Well, http://www.ffholic.com sorta does that, Rahsheen. For example, it says you're the ~350th or so most active user, and I'm the ~2000th, so one could sort of extrapolate from those sorts of stats.
- Ken Sheppardson
206? That's it? I mean, I understand we're likely not going to get many non-English respondents, but 206?
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken, you'll recall that not everyone with hands participated in Hands Across America.
- Micah
Ken that's about 26% of those who are subscribed to you. What would be interesting to do is go to each of their accounts and see how many of your 785 subscribers are actually active, i.e. have they made a native posting here recently, have they commented on anyone's post recently. I'll bet you that a significant number of those who are following you are not actually active users.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I don't think this method is very scientific, Ken! As you said above, you're the 2000th as far as activity. If you got a more active user, and/or one with lots of followers to post this same question, you would get different numbers. Also, the way you phrased this originally, you didn't ask people to share it, bump it, etc.
- Laura Norvig
You all have made great points about what's wrong with the method, and I'll probably do a little write-up that addresses them and does some analysis of the results... but meanwhile... 209? Come on, if you see this, consider yourself an active FF user, but haven't liked or commented... why not?
