Recreating Family Pictures as Done by 23 Different Artists

There is nothing more precious to a mother’s heart than her family and Ernst Berlin hit the nail on the head when he gave his wife and new mom Agnes the perfect birthday gift. Using the Reddit Gets Drawn subreddit where people can submit their photographs and ask the community’s artists to submit their own renditions of the image, he asked 50 redditors if they would redraw his family pictures. Twenty-three artists replied to which he sent a total of 40 pictures and though some of the artwork were duplicates, he kept them anyway: “I didn’t mind if there were multiples of the same photo done,” he explained. “I knew they would all differ.” The Chicago-based photographer earned the best husband of the year award with us as the surprise unveiling was met with joyful tears and comments like “Oh my god, they are so beautiful.” Be sure to scroll all the way down to view Agnes’ whole reaction.
