Crazy Process

So Mac just pointed out Bob Staake's New Yorker cover. There's a lot of buzz about the fact that Bob Staake still uses Mac OS 7 and Photoshop 3, but really, it's his process that amazes me. I mean, just watch this:




His additive/reductive method using simple geometric is just hypnotic.

I once read a "how to draw" book that started with something like "An artist sees objects not as whole objects, but a set of component shapes" but never have I seen someone who's method holds so true to that concept.

Amazing stuff.

As for the fact that he's using PS3: what advantage would CS3 really give him looking at his method?
