Instagram 'Celebrity' Photoshops Himself with Actual Celebrities

Do you ever feel like you're not hanging around enough celebrities? Maybe you wish you were court-side at a Laker's game sharing an emotional moment with Kobe, or maybe you'd rather be wrapped around Kim Kardashian like couch upholstery? If any of these things are true, you might be Peeje T - a pretty creative guy with a pretty good sense of humor and a knack for photoshopping himself into pictures with the likes of Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Alisha Keys and Kobe Bryant, among others.

Peeje T isn't going to win any awards for his retouching skills on these, but they're pretty entertaining nonetheless - especially when he mounts himself on someone in a pose that's pretty ridiculous in the first place. He started out just creating the images for himself and to make his friends laugh, but in a little over a a year, he has collected almost 68,000 followers on Instagram.

A good amount of his source material is through trending topics on Twitter. "I chose which pics I use by whatever is trending on my Twitter,” Peeje T said. “For instance, when Miguel leg dropped that fan at the Billboard Music Awards everyone was talking about it so I tried to get as creative and funny with it as I can."

hahahahaha love it :)

The one with Rhianna is good until you look over at Chris Brown the lighting is messed up. I found these funny and alright, But not amazing. I am no expert on compositing but the lighting seemed messed up on most of them and it looked like the guy had been cut out. But they are funny.

cool :)

I love how the writer of the article keeps calling him "Peete J" when it is CLEAR in several of the photos that it is actually "PEEJE T." Basic reading comprehension fail, but pretty much what I've come to expect from about 50% of FStoppers content these days.

As for the photos, they are hilarious and pretty well done. I actually really like that they're not perfect--it makes them funnier, IMHO.

Holy crap... I honestly thought I was on buzzfeed! the photoshop job would have been good if on buzzfeed. There are only a few shots that would pass. As for the humor of it. I suppose someone who follows this guy would find the humor in it quicker than I did.

The one where he's about to offer that man with the boobs a bag of McDonald's is the most hilarious of them all!

He needs to work on his lighting.

Yep. They would be pretty good comps if so. Still, he was more concerned with the comic value of it than any form of photorealism.

Professional level no, the lighting is off but is it still funny? You bet! I actually did something like this with photoshoping my self in to movie posters as a Joke and ran for prom king with them in high school...and won.
