Belgian artist Vincent Bal has a fantastic ongoing project titled Shadowology. Each photo is a clever mix of an object, its shadow, and a hand-drawn illustration that creates a whimsical scene.

“It all started with the shadow of a teacup,” says Bal. “Now I can’t help seeing things in shadows and everyday objects.”
