There’s nothing wrong with using photo manipulation software like Photoshop, but some artists simply prefer to go without it. John Dykstra is among them, but when you see his work, you’ll find it difficult to believe that this is all done without Photoshop.

For the time being, he’s using his parents’ garage as a studio. “Since I knew I wouldn’t be able to afford my own studio space until I had my feet on the ground, my parents lent me their garage space to use as my dedicated studio,” the artist says.

But look at the results!
