I've seen
Ben Heine's work before in the past, but have just now discovered the name behind the fun pictures. He makes deceptively simple images that are full of whimsy and play.

Pencil vs. Camera #30 by Ben Heine |
Over on DeviantArt, there's a nice write up about him along with a
great interview that spurred this blog. You can browse through the
Pencil vs. Camera series (which is my favorite), the
Digital Circlism series (a play on Pointillism), and more.

Pencil vs. Camera #59 by Ben Heine |
In the Pencil vs. Camera series, Heine takes a picture of a real place, then creates a drawing that overlays part of the scene that plays with your perception of what you're seeing. This would be a really fun project for your kids to try their hands at as well!
