So it seems more like ballpoint pen "reproductions" as oppose to original art. I know it's subjective & splitting hairs, but knowing he's doing a detail for detail reproductions of other's work kills it for me.
Speaking from a purely technical standpoint, yes it's amazing. But from an artistic standpoint he's not really adding anything to the images. Why would anyone buy his ballpoint pen reproductions when their essentially indistinguishable from the source?

Because they're done with frickin' ballpoint pens!
