Pencil Vs Camera!

Pencil Vs Camera - 1

According to my own experience, people in Belgium seem to have great, visionary ideas when it comes to the subject of drawing&photography together. The whole Photo Doodling experience started after I saw a photo uploaded by my belgian flickr friend jo.co, which he drew and scribbled all over. And now, here comes Ben Heine in Belgium as well, with this amazing Pencil Vs Camera! set where reality is completed with drawings, in a “reality doodling” of sort!

I really like the idea and the realizations as well; the above photo is the first of the growing series, while below are some of my favourites. Here’s what Ben Heine says about how it all started, you can read more here. And this is Ben Heine’s blog, updated weekly.

I’ve been taking photos and drawing since almost 10 years. This « Pencil Vs Camera » series is nothing but the result of several years of graphic exploration and a logic consequence of my artistic evolution. But the real idea came while I was watching television and writing a letter at the same time a few weeks ago. Reading my letter before putting it in the envelope, I saw in transparency the television behind the paper. I then realize it would be great to make something similar in a single image showing 2 different actions.

Thank you Bill for the link!
