A football tackle - Here's a collection of art for the digital age as these fascinating illusions of landmarks, places and even a banana are made using just a pair of hands. [Photo/icpress]

The quirky images were created using hand models and body paint to create visions of a castle, church, and two footballers flying into a tackle. London based photographer Ray Massey knuckled down to capture the images with each of the designs taking a day to paint and shoot with the help of hand artist Annie Ralli.

Each image sees the hands and fingers carefully crossed, bent, or partially hidden to the millimetre to cleverly angle the palms and digits into the lifelike images. The intricate detail was then painted on the shapes and blended in to create the illusions, including one creation that sees a hand arch down to become a banana skin. In others a sporting trophy is created by two joined hands bending at the knuckles and two hands are cleverly pushed together to form what appears to be a cosy bed.
