Artist Turns Funny Examples Of Pareidolia Into Charismatic Characters

ipiccy_image-16-1-64c9a5c595473__880-

Keith Larsen (previously), an eccentric whizz with a pencil, has a peculiar knack for morphing your run-of-the-mill teapot into a fairy godmother or your garden-variety mop into a rock star, all thanks to a delightful brain trick known as pareidolia.

As a wee lad, Keith never saw a cloud without a smiley face or a tree bark without a toupee. And now, as a professional doodler, his work revolves around chatting up these shy inanimate objects and persuading them to strut their stuff on his canvases, resulting in an eclectic collection of outlandish and charismatic characters.
