Bert Monroy is a painter, except he uses Illustrator and Photoshop.

This thumbnail is not a photo, its just an example of his incredible talent. Some of his work reminds me of the American painter Edward Hopper, though not as lonely or eerie. Monroy writes,

The incredible challenge of recreating reality is my motivation.
