A well done double exposure is pretty rare and incredible on its own. Now take that piece of art and turn it into a painting. That’s just what artist Pakayla Biehn did in her Double Exposures series: turned a handful of double exposures by a series of photographers, and painted them. Wait a second, a painting, you say? Yuppers! These are all paintings! Incredible, right? The close attention to detail is almost unbelieable. You’d almost never know these weren’t photographs, that’s how incredibly realistic Pakayla’s work is. This level of precision and photo-realism kind of boggles my mind a little bit. In the best possible way. Because … just WOW.

It’s like a giant art-gasm where the sketches go on and on and on for pages and the inspiration is bursting from the computer screen. I could scroll for hours on end. And because I couldn’t resist (when can I ever?), here are a few favourites:
