It’s hard to believe that one of the most famous painters in the world died as a penniless, unknown artist who only sold one painting in his entire life. However, today he’s known worldwide and perhaps as one of the best painters.

Vincent Van Gogh happens to be one of my favorite artists and I happened to come across this amazing film that’s in the works called Loving Vincent. The film is about Vincent’s life and death seen through the eyes of others. The cool thing: it will be the world’s first fully painted film. They’ve got a small army of painters working diligently frame by frame painting away in the style of Van Gogh, and bringing his work to life. As a former animation student, I cannot even begin to tell you the amount of work that is involved with this film other than it is time consuming beyond belief. But by the looks of it it is going to be absolutely amazing.
