When you think of the ballpoint pen, you don’t exactly think of fine art. Less refined than the brush and palette, and easier to use than charcoal, the ballpoint pen often gets a bad rap in the art world. However, the technique that some artists produce with a ballpoint pen is simply out of this world, like this artist named Ray Cicin. Ray has been collecting discarded ballpoint pens ever since he observed how many people speak negatively about them, and he recently put them all to an amazing use. You can see his incredible work below.
