At first glance, people might not be able to see past one of two things when it comes to this everyday object character series. Either they will see the everyday object or the character. Incredibly creative, each everyday object character is full of detail and color, making the deception somewhat understandable. That is especially the case for those who love Pixar and Disney films, and the surreal characters they focus on.
Created by French artist Gilbert Legrand, the everyday object character series involves a kissing couple on a pair of scissors, a man opening his 'hinged' trench coat and a spray bottle mouse with big front teeth. By putting an artistic spin on such mundane items, Legrand shows that magic can reside anywhere.
