Unusual Factory Illustrations

These Wonderful Illustrations Depict Imaginary Factories

— June 5, 2013 — Pop Culture
These wonderful illustrations by artist Jing Zhang are centered around imaginary factories built inside of everyday objects. This imaginative collection of factory illustrations makes these items that people use everyday seem just a little bit more magical.

The objects portrayed in this interesting project include cameras, iPods, televisions, and tea kettles to name a few. These awesome illustrations open up these objects to show the observer their unexpected inner workings.

These wonderful illustrations remind me of something you would see in a children's book. After all, with all that these impressive gadgets can do it would be easy to convince a child that there are tiny little men at work inside of them.

These tiny imaginary factories by artist Jing Zhang put an interesting twist on modern technology. I'll never look at tea kettles the same way.
