Ben Heine's Pencil vs Camera

Some lovely works from Brussels-based artist/photographer Ben Heine from his Pencil vs Camera series, in which he holds drawings over a landscape, which he then photographs with his other hand to create a piece. The self-taught artist takes inspiration from Magritte and Surrealism, evident in some of his digital photos.
