following our coverage of cool reproductions of fine art pieces (see designboom's article on barbie recreations of art classics), 
we go to bill taylor of durham, north carolina, USA. the data manager brightens up his office environment by executing
iconic works of art in marker on a basic whiteboard. he challenges himself by emulating masterpieces across all genres,
from pop art to impressionism, expressing the versatility of his simple medium.

danggg! That fellow coulda been a xerox copier if he'd been born 50 years earlier. I must admit, I was a bit disappointed that he hasn't done the Mona Lisa yet, but his current portfolio is quite stunning. give him some colored markers and let see Warhol's Marilyn Monroe.
