French Artist Turns Everyday Objects Into Whimsical Characters

As a child (if you’re not one reading this right now), we all let our imaginations run wild. Some of us “create” mental adventures others just have imaginary friends. What if you were told their is an artist who attempts making objects come to “life” ? Well, French Artist Gilbert Legrand revealed a number of his masterpieces that have been modified with the faces of hilariously adorable characters that would have made you forget their original purpose. As Legrand lets his imagination flow, he paints small details onto the objects and makes additions such as faces, hands and legs.
