Keith Larsen, an imaginative and talented illustrator, turns everyday objects into enchanting characters by exploiting the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia. Drawing from a lifelong knack for seeing faces in the most ordinary of places, Larsen's artistic practice revolves around lending life and voice to these unassuming entities, transforming them into some rather quirky works of art.

The best thing about Pareidolia is that you don't have to redraw it. The viewer should be allowed to use their imagination. Something is lost when it is explained.

    In US English it means butt and a proper female name, but in UK English it means the other side on a woman. 😉

    I always thought those looked like owls, I wonder if it's just a company design or if they did that because owls have some of the best eyes in the bird world
