Chan Hwee Chong has created a series of stunning spiral drawings for Faber Castell to show the precision and control the company's Artist Pen is capable of. A clever marketing concept, these spiral drawings are so well drawn, they could be hung next to the originals and still look amazing.
Based in Singapore, Chan Hwee Chong, who is both an art director and designer, is inspiring other artists to create their own fingerprint-like drawings. Although they look too good to be true, Chan Hwee Chong was actually filmed drawing 'The Girl with a Pearl Earring' for a commercial that accompanies the print ads. This clearly demonstrates that Chan Hwee Chong created these masterpieces by himself, without the use of Photoshop.
