These amazing pictures are the creation of Spanish artist Juan Francisco Casas, who creates his large works using just blue ballpoint pens. Formerly a traditional painter, Juan began his drawings three years ago based on night outs with friends and his photo realistic ballpoint pen drawings are based on the incredible detail photos that he takes on his camera.
Casas also recreates photographs onto oil paintings on canvases, and he uses up to four ballpoints on one picture. He won the National Award of the Ministry of Education and Science for the best graduate qualifications in Spain.

World's Most Expensive Nail Polish Is Worth $250,000
The Los Angeles based jewellery couturier, Azature launched his first jewellery collection in 2007. Over the years, he has established himself with his signature AZATURE black diamond jewellery and now he has added nail polish to his repertoire. After dressing up celebrity clients and royalties alike, the young designer has now created the world's most expensive nail polish that adorns a VERY high end price tag at $250,000! The ultra-luxe bottle of black polish contains 267 carats of black diamonds for an aristocratic appearance.
The company is producing ONLY one bottle of the nail polish, making the nail polish even more valuable. While the $250,000 bottle is for that 1%, there is a cheaper $25 version that will contain one real black diamond and will be packaged in a diamond shaped box.
The Black Diamond Nail Polish beats the previous title holder Model's Own $ 132, 800 Gold Rush Couture polish which was in a bottle with a real gold bottle cap studded with 1,118 diamonds.
