An ingenious artist has harnessed the power of the sun to burn inspirational images on to panels of wood using a giant magnifying glass. 

In a video shared on his Facebook page, Michael Papadikis - also known as Sunscribes - demonstrates what he calls 'heliography', which literally means 'writing with the sun'. 

He creates a series of beautiful images, including two hugging children, a cat standing on a tortoise and a smiling war veteran.

Mr Papadikis, from Los Angeles, California, starts off by creating an image of the sun, with tiny flames leaping off the wood as he traces its outline with the magnifying glass. 

He then contrasts the image by blackening its background to create a beautiful radiant sun.

The artist then copies a photograph of a smiling brother and sister who are clutching each other, and his wooden version is just as realistic. 

Smoke peels off another panel of wood in the video as Mr Papadikis intensely focuses the sun's rays to depict a couple walking down a road.

The next image, which appears to show a cat standing on a tortoise, is magnificently detailed. 

 Mr Papadikis uses a series of magnifying glasses to add amazing detail to the skin and features of both animals.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
