this tanzanian artist mimics the physical world with only a ball-point pen

Step into the wonderful imagination of hyperrealism artist Bryan Rugangira. An immensely talented visual artist and graphic designer from Tanzania, Rugangira is training himself to capture the minute details of the physical world to translate them into glorious hyperreal drawings and portraits. Armed with what appears to be just a blue ball point pen, the images Bryan produces are sure to capture your eye and your respect.
