pencil vs camera

[gshybrid]

I'm not sure if this has been discussed here... he has a novel approach to drawing and photography.

That's very cool! No, I have never seen this before, but it's very creative, and well done.

Great work! with the camera and the pencil I must say.

I'm amazed at how the lines match up so closely.

I discovered Ben Heine on flickr a few weeks ago. I marked him as a contact so I can see the new additions.

I understand how he gets the drawings to match the lines in the photos. His great creativity is what he does with it.

This is beautiful and creative work! Thanks for posting about this.

I came across his stuff a few months ago while looking around in Flickr...
I liked what I saw...very imaginative and well done...
When I read your post and I saw your link to Flickr...I kinda thought it might be Ben Heine's stuff...

I think the idea's neat but the execution's less impressive. It's quite clear that he superimposes the drawings and the hand onto the image after the fact. Are the images his own or just some he found on flickr? Not trying to put the guy down, I just think it would be more interesting if he either took real photos of the drawings in their environment or, if that's not possible, if he got rid of the hand and just superimposed the drawing alone.

You should read his own comments on his process.....

Of course he's a Belgian!! The country has surrealism built in ;-)

Ha! That's really cool. Imaginative. Some funny, all lovely.

Indeed so. Very creative. But the cat with the double eyes is painful to look at.

Hater alert...
