Artist David Reeves, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, creates some pretty awesome artworks using just a little paper, lighting and camera work. His pieces trick the eye into believing they're witnessing ninja fights, zombie attacks and western shoot-outs.
He creates these pieces by simply cutting out different character shapes from paper. He then places them into appropriate scenery and lights them from the back to give them a cool silhouette effect. Some of the scenes include a zombie's head being shot off, a ninja sword fight, a cowboy shoot off and Batman saving a smaller caped crusader.
This is definitely a series worth checking out, and even a fun idea to toy around with at home if you love art.
