The Shadow Artist

Some innovative artistic talent to start your week.

The Shadow Artist. Despite sounding much like a Sherlock Holmes episode, this refers to Vincent Bal; an artist who quite literally plays with and manipulates light to create his works.

The Belgian filmmaker was working on a script one day when he noticed his mug of tea (excellently English of him) was throwing a beautifully shaped shadow onto his notepad. He grabbed his pen, added a few dots and scribbles et voilà: an elephant. He now regularly posts pictures on his Instagram of these quirky creations. So simple, yet so effective.

Check out a few below, they are great.
