I thought ballpoint pen drawings wereinherently monochromatic, but then I discoveredSamuel Silvas ballpoint pen art. Using just eight different colored ballpoint pens, Silva creates incredibly photorealistic portraits of people, animals and landscapes. Samuel Silva uses regular BIC ballpoint pens and each drawing can take from 5 to 50 hours to finish. I don’t mix them [colors] nor blend them. Ballpoint pen ink dries instantly and can not be erased. Silva says he started drawing from the early age of just 2....

Unlike in western culture, women in Asian countries dont like to get a tan particularly in the face. Tan is often seen as a connection to outdoor work and peasantry who toil in the sun.

The bizarre patterns at Avshalom Cave combined with the ghostly lightening creates a rather creepy ambience inside the cave. Given enough time these tiny layers add up to form columns of calcium carbonate called stalactites and stalagmites.
