Booooooom invited their readers to recreate their favorite paintings or photos using photography. The results are pretty creative. The recreations of Surrealist art are particularly fascinating since seeing them IRL makes them feel more demented.

Chris of Colossal has his own picks from the submissions. And you can vote for your favorite on Booooooom’s Facebook page here.
