Look at the two Starbucks cups above. Can you tell which one is real and which one is a creation of colored pencils, pastels and ink? If not for a tiny bit hanging off the edge of the wood, we’d have been hard-pressed to choose.
This is the incredibly realistic work of Singaporean artist Ivan Hoo.
Hoo, who is self-taught, says he “loves to draw realistic art or artworks that tease the eyes and the brain.”
Consider our brains teased, sir.
▼Safety first, only illusory matches on the plywood.
▼I’ll just wipe that up. Oh, wait…
▼Mmm, delicious Nutella.
▼Hang this one on your bathroom wall and really confuse visitors.
▼Good thing that’s not real wine being wasted.
▼ …Gesundheit.
He also draws some straight-up cute puppies and kitties because, you know, every artist should diversify.
Check out more of Hoo’s amazing work on his Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter.
