Photoshop can be used to create many different images and clever illusions. Some skilled Photoshop artists have taken it upon themselves to put themselves into other pictures, making it look as though they were really there when the photo was taken.

We’ve rounded up some of the best images from three very talented artists, from parodies of celebrity culture and fictitious twins to artists who meet their childhood selves. Prepare to marvel at some incredibly clever Photoshop art.

Average Rob

Average Rob is actually Robert Van Impe. He describes himself as a “mediocre dude from Belgium”, and happens to be incredibly talented with Photoshop.

Clearly wishing he had a celebrity lifestyle, Van Impe rather convincingly puts himself into pictures with famous faces. Whether it be hanging out with Barack Obama or getting cosy with Beyoncé, Average Rob’s Photoshop tricks always require you to take a second look, just to make sure he can’t actually be in the original picture.

It’s not just Obama that Rob is best friends with, as he can be seen here hanging out withEminem. We’re assuming Eminem put his headphones on after Rob fell asleep.

Here’s another picture of Rob with one of best friends,Ryan Reynolds. Ryan’s facial expression looks as though he’s struggling to hold the weight of Rob in his arms, but being the great dad he is, he no doubt soldiers on.

While we don’t think Rob is a Trump supporter, largely because of his friendship with Obama (more on that later), he clearly doesn’t take too kindly to being so close toHilary Clinton.

First Date

We’re not sure if sitting in a paddling pool with armbands withKaty Perryis the best first date idea, but we wish Rob the best of luck for getting a second.

Car sickness

Here Rob has comically put himself with the stars of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as he barfs in a paper bag. Tarantino is seemingly turning away in disgust.

Good Old Days

If anyone is going to join best friendsBarack Obama and Joe Biden, it’s going to be Rob.

Here he is hanging out with them at a tennis court, “joking about Trump being elected as president one day.”

Swimming Pool

The way Rob has been able to make the towel look as though it genuinely is hanging off the shoulders of David Beckham is yet more proof of his talent. Rob shows you how he created the effect in theInstagrampost.

Every Happy Kid

Beyonce’s pregnancy announcement photo became Instagram’s most-liked photo of 2017.

Rob liked the news so much thatgot up close and personalto see if he could feel the babies kicking.

Rob also has a particular affection forRyan Reynolds, as he has placed himself in a few photos with the Canadian actor.

Rob is sort of ruining Ryan’s gaze into the camera, but it’s nice they can be comfortable around each other.
