CJ is a contemporary Australian artist known for her super-realistic, gigantic pencil drawings of everyday objects using a self-developed scribbling technique. Instagram gave her the platform to explode into the art world and into success and recognition. Hendry's colour pencil drawings are so realistic they can be mistaken for high quality photocopies. She has drawn everything from Chanel perfume bottles, Louboutin sneakers, crumpled up Hermès and Gucci shopping bags, to a plate of glazed donuts, a spectacular mirror ball and a $100 bill with Kanye West’s face on it (which he bought). Her drawings are incredible.

He works with everyday items, such as fruit, biscuits, crayons, paperclips and lollies. Each piece is perfectly organised in a way that will satisfy even the most hard-core type A person.
