Diego Cusano is an Italy-based artist who calls himself a “Fantasy Researcher” and explores the line between imagination and reality. Using his limitless creativity, this artist is able to turn ordinary objects into unexpected illustrations that let us see those simple everyday items from a new perspective.

"I started watching things from a different point of view, and from this new approach, I started creating the illustrations that, since then, I’m publishing each day on the social networks," Diego writes on his Facebook page. "Objects change their native function through the graphic to a new, different, unpredictable function. I always try to "re-invent" myself. I would like to give smiles when people look at my works.”

The beauty of Diego’s works is that unexpected twist that he gives to those things we usually see as casual – he turns a banana into a giraffe, a cup of coffee suddenly becomes a planet, a head of garlic becomes a duck. Still don’t see how it’d work? Scroll down and witness it for yourself!

That’s what happens when Homer tries Marge’s stylist and asks for. “You know, the usual.”

I would buy a mascara with this on the packaging. Like a natural based mascara. You should pitch it to a high-end, cruelty-free mascara line. I think you're onto something here.

As small children we could do this because our gaps in the teeth and when we did do this Mom would freak out. So we did it a lot until Dad told us to stop.

How quick was this photo taken? I think in studios they use mashed potatoes instead of ice cream

Yup. When the pots boil all the way over, may as well have put everything in a thimble. That's the edible amount usually left!!! Kids... never dull.
