You are right Wolf - I didn't pay a lot of attention to the crown when I posted the image. There are better examples of her work on the site link. I was just drawn to that image as an example as I love the GaGa (and all her ArtPop) and the time-lapse youtube vid matched. 

But the point is there are a handful of artists in the world that can draw and paint photo real, or so close to it that one really has to look for the flaws that give it away. 

It's also interesting that many of these artists with such unique talents are often autistic to some degree. Some to a very severe degree that cripples them from functioning normally in most other ways. But that's a different subject. 

I disagree that craft is not art. Any form of craft that a person has a passion for or drive to develop is art, from cooking to writing to playing a violin. We place different labels on them to help us define the medium, like author or poet or musician or chef or carpenter, but in the end it is all art.
