Illustrator Incorporates Everyday Items Into His Drawings

Anything and everything can be turned into a piece of art or something creative if you are imaginative enough. And there is no doubt that Prague-born illustrator Kristian “Mr. Kriss” Mensa has plenty of imagination.

Mensa sees things around him very differently than most people. Where someone sees an everyday item, this talented artist notices an object that can serve as a complementary piece to his drawing. This includes using mushroom as a champagne cork, pasta noodles as a bird nest, and zucchini as a zeppelin.

In an interview with HuffPost, Mensa revealed that he believes inspiration is all around, and people only need to recognize it. He also shared that he had a different perspective on things ever since he started drawing as a seven-year-old.

“I’ve always liked to make my own rules, and I didn’t like being told what I should or shouldn’t draw,” he shared.

This mindset worked out quite well for Mensa, considering his unusual works became quite popular on social media. He has more than 90K followers on Instagram, while he also caught the attention of several high-profile brands who started using his artwork in their campaigns.
