One Of The Many Things I Am Hopeless At Is Art,

but I do like looking at examples made by people far more talented than me,


even more so when the medium they use is unusual, say in amorphoric street art or the 3D painting gallery we visited some time ago, but this artist uses an unusual medium in the form of a date stamp as his brush, he is Italian artist Federico Pietrella, using a date stamp may have been used before, but this is the first time I have seen a date stamp used this way,


He has been perfecting the technique of pointillism for the past 15 years and his work is in such big demand he can earn 20,000 euros a painting, each one of his masterpieces takes between one and two months to complete, which is easily verified because he uses the current date whenever he uses the stamp,

I should point out that these masterpieces are not small works, the artist is pictured above with one of his studies, he lives in the German city of Berlin, what a talented guy he is.
