The Sketch of a Life, Artist Combines Photography And Drawing To Create Amazing Self-Portraits
“The Sketch of a Life” is a stunning series by Paris-based artist Sébastien Del Grosso, combining drawing and photography.

Thomas Lamadieu Blurs the Line Between Photography and Illustration in 'Skyart'
Posted by erika rae | 17 Apr 2014 | Comments (0) While some may call a clear, blue sky art enough, French artist Thomas Lamadieu might say otherwise. In fact, he might call it a blank canvas. His ongoing series, Skyart, takes the blank spaces between buildings and turns them into illustrated wonderlands filled with bearded inhabitants and imaginary animals. His illustrations started out as line drawings lacking any intense detail (see below) and have grown more cartoonish with his recent pieces. With architectural photos making up the background, Lamadieu's work makes fun plays at the surrounding structures. Via PSFK
