Pietro Cataudellais an incredibly talented artist with not only the ability to create impressive sketches, but an eye for changing our perspective of the world too.
He takes photos of real-world locations and blends in some impressive sketches in a way that’ll have your jawdropping, your lips curling into a smile or simply have you scratching your head wondering how he does it.
The works of art appear on hiswebsite, hisInstagramaccount andFacebooktoo. So if you enjoy what you see in this gallery be sure to follow him to see more in future. We’ve collected some of our favourites for you to enjoy.
Forest fires vs Bambi
Forest fires are obviously a real threat to the planet. This image strikes this home in an unusual way.
It was created to highlight the terrible fires in the Amazon and shows the danger to wildlife as well as the environment.
Dog walkers
We often get this feeling when walking our own dogs too. Tied up in the lead or wrapped up in the lead of other people.
We are impressed with Pietro Cataudella’s ability to spot real-world situations and places to work his magic on. Some careful positioning and a new perspective are created, this one showing cartoon characters in our real world.
A dragon at the city walls
This image is taken near the ancient walls of Pisa, Italy and inspired by the last season ofGame of Thrones.
A hand-drawn dragon attacks the walls and no doubt gives the city occupants an unwelcome fright. Another classic and impressively drawn sketch.
Jaguar unleashed
This one was actually part of a paid partnership with Jaguar, but shows another brilliant use of the artist’s talent.
The car looks as though it’s leaping out of the notebook and smashing through the pages as it splashes through the puddles. We love that it looks like it’s both moving and standing still at the same time.
A bridge to a cartoon world
Pietro Cataudella clearly has a brilliant imagination. He certainly has a talent for conjuring up amazing visions from even the simplest surroundings.
This one appears to show a bridge crossing over into a different reality, with our world on one side and a cartoon universe on the other.
A church with roots
We love that Pietro Cataudella’s imagination seems to lend roots to builds in place of foundations.
As if these ancient buildings have sprung up from the ground, nurtured by the world but withered and worn by time.
Building or boat?
Some of these sketches really get us using our imagination. What if buildings could float and double as a boat?
Imagine a floating hotel or office building. What a view you’d have from your window, though we’d imagine things might get a bit choppy. Sure you could live in a houseboat or take a trip on a cruise ship, but what if skyscrapers had sails?
Building or birds nest?
This sketch is both impressive and terrifying. A twist of perspective and some clever artistry and we’re faced with enormous birds who’d likely be large enough to rule the world if they wanted.
Black hole doughnut
We enjoyed Homer making an appearance back when the first black hole image made an appearance andthe internet was awash with memes. This sketch version is even more delicious.
The leaning chocolate fountain of Pisa
How many clichéd tourist photos of the leaning tower of Pisa have you seen?
They’re dull and certainly not as tasty as this one. Sketch skills and an eye for the delightful too.
