Great find, Doug. A simple idea brilliantly executed. It's leaps of creative genius like that that I aspire to, but always fail to materialise.

These are incredibly unique and well done yet remind me of the before-and-after scenic photography so popular for years (see examples of my own attached, done in 1997). Nevertheless, they are clever enough to be considered on their own apart from this genre.

I'm trying to decide if the hand and paper are part of the original images; I'm leaning toward them being added in post (it's obvious of course that the pencil aspect was added later). But the lighting on the hand changes with each image, though it's not clear if it actually matches the lighting in every scene (in many it does not). Some examples look superimposed.

Regardless, definitely a set of images worth spending time with! Thanks for the heads-up, Doug.
