Ever since his son, Stan, was born two years ago, British army photographer Timothy Jones has shot one portrait every month of Stan sitting with Jones' 6-year-old Beagle named Jasper. The resulting series of 24 photos shows Stan growing from a newborn into a toddler with his canine friend by his side.

For a fine arts project at his university, art student Joel Brochu spent a whopping 8 months meticulously recreating a photograph using tiny nonpareils (the tiny sprinkles used on cakes and donuts). 221,184 individual sprinkles were placed on the 4-foot-wide board, which was covered with double-sided tape and a thin layer of glue. Each sprinkle was placed by hand using jewelry tweezers.
