I’m so jealous of this 14 year old kid. I’ve been using Photoshop 17 years and couldn’t recreate this work. This kid has talent.

My favorite is the pencil sketch of the lower body and the photo of the kids upper torso. Mixed media is challenging work.

I’m curious to see how his career in photography progresses.
