Burning art

Now from the title you would think I am talking about burning artwork, but in a way you are both right and wrong.  I found a work of art that was created by candle smoke.  Yes you heard right, candle smoke.  The artist attaches paper to the ceiling and then holds a candle so far away from the paper depending on the shading that he needs.  They he puts the papers together to get his work of art.  Make sure you look at the details.


 
What are your thoughts on this artwork?  What would you like to do that would seem unrealistic?

    i am surprisedhat the paper wouldnt burn when shading the darkers spots. i am amazed on how he could get the small shaded spots and lines.

    that would be really hard to make. if i would try i would end up burning the paper. it must take forever to make that.

    it is very interesting to how much detail the artsit gets in his work. i think the artist has to be very patient to get just the right amount of smoke on the paper. i dont think i could be that patient to do this.

    The amount of detail in this artwork is amazing! Making this type of art would take extreme paitence and caution. You would also have to have a really good eye for detail. Wish I could do that!

    these photos look very old but they are made on a grid. they have to be done very good and there can not be any mistakes. i could have done it way better than what they did.

    this artwork is simply amazing to see someone peace art work together sectional by sectional together without seeing the entire image. Well I at least don't see him using a smaller image to look off he has to imagen its placement then construct the peace needed to fit into that spot. The most amazing thing is he does it with no ink no pencil no paint he does it with soot or smoke residue.
