Seeing The Ordinary In Extraordinary Ways

Thanks to Bored Panda, here's New York's Tom Bob with your daily dose of whimsy. (Be sure to check out his Instagram feed, where there are lots more fun instances. They don't all have "Before" and "After" shots, but they're still a real blast.)

American artist Tom Bob is running loose in the streets of New York, and let's hope nobody catches him.
Using street "furniture" like poles or electrical terminals, Tom creates colorful and whimsical pieces that interact with their surroundings. From turning a sewer into a frying pan, to transforming gas meters into quirky lobsters, Tom Bob is making the city a much happier place for everybody.
