There is art in everything around us. You just have to see it. It may be difficult to see it literally, but this artist creates such art from everyday items. Keith Larsen has Pareidolia and this gives him a clearer view of this hidden art.

Pareidolia is a psychological occurrence where the mind responds to stimulus of sound or image by identifying a familiar pattern in the absence of any one. Larsen has Pareidolia and has decided to use it in a positive way. He turns objects around him into fun characters with personalities and distinct features.

He decided to illustrate objects in a cartoonish way because people do not see the faces in inanimate objects as he does. He also writes some stories to bring them to life. If you love to see such fun looking characters, follow him on Instagram. Below are some of his work:
