TV producer John Marshall started creating cardboard cutouts while he was staying in a cabin in Maine. He then photographed them against sunsets to achieve the beautiful effect you can see below. He calls this creations Sunset Selfies and they’re often humorous and fantastical. Marshall’s Instagram page is quickly approaching 10k followers, so join them if you want to see more of his work.

“This collection started while I spent some time living in a small cabin on Frye Island, Maine. After watching gorgeous sunsets right out my back door, I decided to start a creative project I’m calling Sunset Selfies,” the artist told Laughing Squid.

“What kind of style do you want?” I asked my giraffe friend. “How ‘bout a double Windsor,” he replied. “You know, I could teach you how to do it,” I offered. “It’s really not that hard.” “Sounds good,” the giraffe said. “As soon as you can tie your own tie with your feet, come show me how.” ___________________________________________ #illustrationhowl #socfeature #picame #art_correct @granit_spahiu #art_creatives24h #creative_art_world #silhouette_creative @jhyattphoto @seamus2021 @sunflowerof21 @b_kidwell #ilovesunsets #sunsetart #artofinstagram #instagram #raw_silhouette #super_photosunsets #atdiff_silhouette @americamena #sunsetselfies #sunsets #cardboard #cutouts #silhouettes #giraffe #ilovegiraffes #giraffeart #giraffesofinstagram

After not finding any toilet paper for several weeks, I finally spotted a roll down on the rocks tonight at sunset. It was an adult male, soft and plump but heavily armed. I approached with nervous excitement.⁣ ⁣ "One step closer and I'll wipe that smirk right off your face," the toilet paper shouted in defiance.⁣ ⁣ "If anyone's gonna do any wiping, it's gonna be me," I shouted back as I lowered my net.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ________________________________________⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #toiletpaper #wildtp #caronavirus #tpshortage #ilovetoiletpaper #sunsetsillouette #sunset #ilovesunsets #cardboardart #cardboardcutouts #instagram #artoninstagram  @creators  @instagram  @art_creatives24h @art_correct @art_explorer ⁣ ⁣

When he is fully engorged, Trevor is pretty disgusting, but he does have a good sense of humor. "What do you get when you cross a virus with a tick?" Trevor asked me tonight as we watched the sunset together. "I don't know," I said, playing along. "Corona with Lyme." I gave him a high-five for that one. ____________________________________________________ #sunsetsilhouette #sunsetselfies #silhouetteart #creativesilhouette #cardboardart #cardboardcutout #creativephotography  #instaart  #instagram  #covidart  #artofvisuals  #artistsoninstagram #art_spotlight #creative @creators #instaarts  #caronart  #wegotthis  #inthistogether  #quarantoons  #tick #lymedisease #tickssuck #ihateticks
