Californian artist Christina Empedocles is doing photorealistic wax pencil drawings on paper, on which you have to take a second look to identify them as real drawings.

Empedocles is an individual absorbing the world through popular culture with a nostalgic, but elaborated look on nature. I especially like the ones on crumpled paper.
