These black and white photos have been given an extra dose of whimsy with a series of adorable illustrations inserted into each frame.
Drawn by London-based photographer and artist Ieva Blaževičiūtė, her series titled 'Gloomy Business' can currently be viewed on Instagram. In the photo collection, black and white images have been given a personal touch by the artist with a series of odd creatures and animal doodles juxtaposing the otherwise forlorn settings and subjects.
The drawing style takes on a somewhat dream-like feel with its careful positioning within each black and white frame. The careful use of the color red within each of these adorable illustrations that make up Gloomy Business helps to make the contrast all the more memorable.
