In his Pencil Vs Camera works he first takes a photograph and then overlays a section of that photo with a photo of his own hand holding his own penciled sketch over a portion of the original photo. The effect is an astonishing jolt that echoes pop art but is also entirely fresh and new. An already beautiful photo is transformed with a sketched "comment" that adds a splash of satire or whimsy. I love the thought of our everyday monotonous surroundings taking on fantastical, joyous, and humorous qualities.
