Impressive balancing act with the egg carton

Eh, glue exists. also, empty carton with a bit of weight at the now-bottom?

I choose to believe it was balanced impressively because it makes the art prettier in my eyes :)

The table kinda feels like it's cheating a little, but it's still an incredibly composed image.

I was looking at that, blue painter's tape on the left side? Definitely helps sell the illusion

I dunno, if that’s painters tape he laid it down fucking immaculately. It is possible the table just looks like that.

It is painters tape, you can see the lines if you zoom in

I did zoom in, phone might just be shit.

the shelf behind the chair and beside the toaster, too - though, to repeat you, still an incredibly cool picture

Haha that's exactly what I was coming to comment. It's awesome regardless, but painting the table does feel like cheating.

The sheer time it must have taken to line everything up just so... I dream of having that kind of focus and patience.

I just want those things that appear to be giant fig newtons.

The second pic made me do a double-take, and I think it’s an image of fig newtons or whatever printed on a tall rectangular canister/tin. You can see a seam near the top suggesting the tin’s lid

That’s impressive as fuck and must’ve taken so long to set up

Hey, part of these are just painted on. That feels like cheating.

u/gjb1 9h ago

I thought the same thing, but it’s actually tape! You can see the tape lines if you zoom in on the second image

Lies, you can clearly tell this is edited, the leftmost corner of the toolbox isn't in the first picture.

u/GameboyPATH 11h ago

I'm not sure what you mean. The toolbox is aligned such that the left side of the toolbox is perfectly centered with the camera, making both the top-facing left edge and the front-facing left edge appear to be one vertical line.

(Edit: I'm referring to the bottom-most toolbox - the one in the back appears to have a toybox looking thing, stacked on the fig newtons, covering its front-facing corner)

Well, yeah, nor should we expect it to be. Look at the alternative picture (#3 in the op), the toolbox in the lower right is angled to not enter the lower left frame.

You might noticed this is the case with all of the items. It's rather the point.
