Artist Georges Monfils, is also the creator of the Van Gogh portrait made of over 12,000 artist’s colored pencils. Each pencil cut and sharpened to lie in a particular way. When looking at the portrait from a distance it looks almost identical to the original self-portrait by Van Gogh, except it is 5 feet tall. Only as you move closer you are aware that it is thousands of pencils. It is so exceptional that it was purchased by the Van Gogh Museum to hang in their entry.
