There is a ton of fantastic hyperrealistic artists working right now, so many good ones that its hard to keep up. We just got attention to the work of Paul Cadden and his pencil photorrealistic works. Cadden says of his work, "Although the drawings and paintings I make are based upon photographs, videos stills etc, the idea is to go beyond the photograph."

We have shown you the photoreal paintings of Brooklyn-based painter Alyssa Monks in the past in our Erotica section, and today we were really enjoying her new works painted in 2012. As the years have gone on, Monks' hyperreal paintings have become more abstract, with flesh hiding behind steamed surfaces, obscuring the body and facial expressions, and figures are more in performance with their poses than in works past.

We love a good bit of noir in the morning, and we came across a whole series of femme fatales from Beijing-based fine artist, Mu Lei. A great use of a simple palette, with a piercing stare and vivid red lip makes these a stunning series.

Haruki Murakami has a thing for ears. In each of his novels, you get a girl, pulling her hair back, revealing some an ear that has the lead character on notice. Kim Sung Jin has a thing for lips. How do we know? We just spent nearly an hour looking at hundreds of photorealistic lips painted dramatically by the Korean artist.
