It’s quite interesting to see how some artists tend to find sources of creativity in the most common things. They look beyond everyday inanimate objects and show how us how a simple drawing can completely change the way we interpret things around us.

Turkish-born artist Irfan Yilmaz, currently living in Boston, Massachusetts, who is known as "Doodletheaction" on his Instagram, allows us to imagine what ordinary photos would look like if they had certain feelings and emotions portrayed visually. The artist adds a touch of surrealism to the photos he takes and brings them to life by adding art on top of them.

    Silky hair just takes so much more effort to tame.
