A French creative who goes by the name Mister Blick fuses vintage black and white photographs with colorful illustrations of flowers. The monochromatic pictures depict men at war, and we see them among the trenches and fighter jets. But, instead of guns in their hands, Blick has seamlessly replaced them with luscious blooms. It gives the illusion that the soldiers are fighting with these larger-than-life petals and stems rather than bullets.
The juxtaposition between the two different source materials creates striking combinations, and the flowers beautifully accent the wartime photos. This also allows Blick to combine fantasy and reality; once the realistic elements are blended together, they form surreal images that could be out of a dream.

The giant florals typically replace guns that were in the original images.
Though there are some other exceptions that are equally as powerful.
