on creativity, design, and communications

Belgian artist Ben Heine has been taking photos and drawing since almost 10 years. This «Pencil Vs Camera» series is the result of several years of graphic exploration and a logic consequence of his artistic evolution. His idea came while he was watching television and writing a letter at the same time. Reading his letter before putting it in the envelope, he saw in transparency the television behind the paper. He then realized it would be great to make something similar in a single image showing two different actions.

All graphic elements shown in this set come from Ben’s own stock/production. He drew the sketches, took the photos, and edited them.
