I’ve been through Sandrine Estade Boulet’s photo/illustration gallery in its entirety three times, and I’m still smiling.

Whilst out and about, Sandrine snaps a photo of all sorts of things – building facades, patches of grass, garbage, etc – then takes it home and uses the basic shapes to create lively and clever characters, fully integrated into their environment.

Of course, other artists have done similar things – some even creating the illustrations in the landscape themselves, but Sandrine just seems to get it right, every time.
