Absolutely great!

As someone with an art background, the idea that someone with no artistic talent could paint something like a vermeer simply blew me away. It's such a stupid simple idea, yet absolutely genius. That is truly magic. How appropriate that Penn and Teller should be involved. I loved this. And Tim's reaction as he finally got to appreciate his work after months of often painstaking labor was very touching. It would have been nice if he compared the original with his, even if it was just a print. It was too short. I wanted more. Just great.

I agree. It blew me out of the water and I knew I would like it- I just didn't realize how much. The genius simplicity of his theory and methods made it perfect. I hope a lot more people will be inspired by it and try out his methods. I know I am and will be.

thats the main point here, he said he painted 2 times before that but yet he knew the most advanced techniques, dont you think you have been bamboozled?
