Marilyn Monroe

At first glance these celebrity portraits appear to have been created from aerial photographs of dozens of people.

But a closer examination of this series, by Atlanta-based artist Craig Alan, reveals that the tiny figures were actually painted into place.

Mr Alan, 40, has created paintings of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Elvis Presley, as well as the Statue of Liberty, with his realist technique.

His painstaking efforts are well-rewarded though - a single piece from the 'Populous' series can sell for up to $50,000.

The artist says he first came up with the idea after after taking photos of the street from the sixth floor of an apartment block.

'In one shot, the group of people appeared to have formed an eye on the screen - this started my creative wheels turning.'
