French artist Gilbert Legrand’s new series takes everyday objects like corkscrews, tape measures, and more and turns them into hilariously cute characters that almost make you forget their original purpose.

These images by Buenos Aires-based graphic design student Martín De Pasquale are so surreal that, obviously, you know they are photoshopped. But they are perfectly executed and very funny. To learn more about the artist and the art of photoshopping we suggest you to check out some of his behind the scenes photos in his Fotografía Imposible folder on Facebook.
