12 Photorealistic Paintings Of Handsome Vintage Gadgets

Think you like gadgets? You don’t hold a candle to Canadian artist William Fiske who’s spent the last decade painting impossibly realistic portraits of everything from vintage cameras to ageing computer consoles.

In his ongoing “Portraits” project, Fiske focuses on monochromatic objects — with an emphasis on chrome. (A nice way of saying: he likes shiny things.) Fiske also seems fascinated with even the simplest components, from headphones to cable cords. No wonder he’s a favourite of companies like Radio Shack and Comcast.

Regardless, you’ve never seen a microscope look so good. [William Fiske via Fubiz]
