Artist Uses Digital Illustration to Add Whimsical Characters to Photos of Everyday Things
Illustrator Tineke Meirink photographs everyday things like trees, litter, and buildings, and turns them into whimsical characters by adding a little digital illustration to the photos. She calls the project “Stop:watch.”
Stop:watch is about taking a closer look. To stop and watch. Tineke takes photos of apparently uninteresting items such as litter and bird-droppings and adds a minimal illustration digitally. That way these photos get a whole different meaning, they come to life. She hopes it makes people realize that everything has its beauty and that it is just more fun to take a closer look.
