It's confusing to me then, the one thing that beats photo's hands down about man made art is a good artist portrays "how things should look" not how they do look.
Like when I see a photo realistic painting I like, by someone I don't know, I always look for stuff like the hands.
A good artist knows how to render a hand in any position, an artist who just copies a photo will always suck at rendering something as complex as a hand.
Hard to explain but when you draw from an actual live figure (if you have skill) it will always come off more realistic than drawing from a photo.
When I look at his paintings I assumed it was a stencil, just because of the details in them.
Take hear no evils nose, that's how a photo would look, an artist should do the shadows on her nose to look even more real than the photo.
Destination unknown has even more problems like that, with almost every line.
Dude should do good though depending on his persona and presentation and other factors.
That vectorish look is actually the in thing right now and sells like hotcakes in the "urban art" type collectors scene.
Again, it's not a diss, just one semi drunk mans opinion on the internet.
