dailymail.co.uk — Until the stroke, Alan was unable to draw or paint, and the best he could manage was a simple 2D stickman. When he emerged from a gruelling 16-hour operation following his stroke, he found he had become a reborn 'Michelangelo' and was able to paint and draw with incredible detail.

Loki I'm attending art college...By the way, one doesn't need to practice a form of work to make criticisms. Does Roger Ebert direct movies?

Wow from his paintings all ways a silhouette of a person or people in dark settings. Like some sort of hidden person trying to emerge from him. Freaky

I agree... I think its great that he has acquired some talent. But lets not over exaggerate here... The writer has no clue what he/shes talking about. Michelangelo was a prodigy producer of form unmatched (IMO) by anyone we have record of.... This article shows examples of artwork that pays very little attention to formal detail ... the new artist is more of a fauvist and mediocre at that.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauvism">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauvism</a>

@Loki101:I airbrush and do sketchwork. I don't ever claim to be the best, but I can tell there's not really anything special about this stuff.

Did you just accuse the Daily Mail of over-exaggerating??!?

Northern Ireland isn't part of Great Britain, it's part of the UK. 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland'.Sorry about that, but things like that irritate me too.
