playing with shadows

This illustrator makes me smile, in the same vein as one of my all-time favorites, the brilliant Christoph Niemann.

It makes me wonder how much we set up our "reality" in our minds, based on the shadows that result from every day experiences.

Artist Vincent Bal Turns the Shadows of Everyday Objects into Ingenious Illustrations

Belgian filmmaker and illustrator Vincent Bal works within the confines of long shadows of everyday objects resting in the sunlight to create a wide range of whimsical doodles. The shadow of a film canister becomes a forbidding tower, or the filaments of a lightbulb cast a dramatic backdrop as a staircase for a daring escape. Bal makes many of his images available as prints over on Etsy.
