Michael Paul Smith is both an artist and a photographer (and a self-proclaimed recluse) who used his ingenuity, model-building expertise, and some miniature model cars to create these very realistic views of the small towns he recalled from his childhood. The short video below from DeMilked illustrates Smith’s project (and includes the perfect soundtrack for kicking off your work week).

The video footage was shot by Animal Studio, and there’s a longer film from National Geographic’s Short Films Showcase, in which Smith reveals a bit about his life and the backstory for this interesting project.
