I don’t know who comes up with all of these but they are quite entertaining.

Ok, it’s art! It might cheer up a gray day just a bit to see something like this on the street on your way to work/lunch/shcool or whatever

Thank you very much for having a good time enjoying your excellent made ideas, especially the animals and the tiny-pulling-hero-figure, awesome! But I have to say some of your photos speak a really morbide languange, i.e. the balloon-boy in the water seems to be really dead and I had to convice myself that it is hopefully just an installation but nevertheless it is grotesque to find yourself admiring the perspective and technique and being disgusted of this fascination because of what the picture actually shows.
