Wow! This man's art is stunning!

The art is very good, at least for the ones I looked at. I guess that is all that really matters.

And now for a dissenting opinion.
The drawings demonstrate outstanding craftsmanship but fall short on creativity. They are copies of photographs.

True they are copies of photos but many artists make paintings, drawings etc. from photographs and if they don't use photos they have a model sit for them or plop themselves down in front of some nice scene or landscape and copy it. Photographers on this website are frequently praised for their creative vision and what they did was make a copy of a scene in nature. A heck of a lot of famous art hanging in museums and galleries around the world is some kind of copy of some actual person or scene. Would you say they are not "creative" art?
Just wondering.

Obviously the guy's got serious talent. But id just take the photo and save myself the extra 24+ hours so that i can do something productive with the time--like drink beer
