- Some cool drawings... ^_^ Hyper Realistic Pencil Drawings by South African Jono Dry "Young South African artist, Jono Dry (26) was born in Pretoria and raised in the beautiful seaside town of Hermanus, where he has lived, worked and exhibited for most of his young life. Entirely self taught, his unique photo realistic-surrealist works are usually created on a large scale, using graphite on paper or board. His subject matter is collected from images that inspire him and objects he encounters in his daily experience. He works up to a month on one drawing, and the works are done in pencil. Only pencil!"
