Some Hero Is Putting Googly Eyes On Miserable Objects, And His Photos Are Going Viral

Winter in Scandinavia will last for like six months. So I got bored and restless and decided to glue googly eyes to everything all over my monochrome hometown.

I think it’s called eyebombing. I hope you’ll like it!

    Hello ladies

    This is how winter in Sweden feels like

    This is the worst one. It looks exactly like the friend you’ve got who’s always happy because he’s too stupid to realize that everything sucks

    ADVERTISEMENT

    I call this one “TEQUILAAAAAGRHHHH”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Before you get all upset over this; I actually never glue the eyes to statues, its just adhesives

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The classic under cover police in the club-look. Just chillin by the bar

    “Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??!”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    This is me every time I hear someone say “shots”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    D:

    ADVERTISEMENT

    When you wake up and try to remember how you even got home last night

    When you and your best friend tries to act normal to get into the club even though you drank hela systembolaget like ten minutes ago

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Chillin with bae in the park

    ADVERTISEMENT

    When its Sunday and you don’t wanna be alone but you also don’t wanna leave home

    Turning in your assignment like

    Parent: So how’s your studying going? Me:

    Bye

    Using the eyes was a Great idea! It adds personality that seems to be so scarce. Do things get any better in the spring and summer? Just curious.

    I live in Stockholm, in the park near our place we have a bunch of sculpture, some with obvious purpose some without. The other day I was walking back from tunnelbana and noticed that one of the minecraft worms (it's what I call them) had eyes painted on it, now I know where the idea came from! Love it

    What about the people who see magic in these items already. Growing up, these things were kind of living to me. They carried their own stories all by themselves. It was like a single touch was an entire timeline of creation, living out a purpose, and continuing for generations to come. From that perspective, this looks kind of cheesy. Just saying.

    "This is the worst one. It looks exactly like the friend you’ve got who’s always happy because he’s too stupid to realize that everything sucks" Worst part is that often you are envious. What a pleasure is to be a ignorant. :)

    Hi. Aside from liking the googly eyes on everything, I wanted to ask: Is a dangerous town? Because you mention shots and reaching home. Take care!

    8 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    no, Uppsala is like any other Swedish mid-sized city - harmless. I was just referring to the shots you drink and the memory loss they bring ;)

    "This is the worst one. It looks exactly like the friend you’ve got who’s always happy because he’s too stupid to realize that everything sucks" Worst part is that often you are envious. What a pleasure is to be a ignorant. :)

    Hi. Aside from liking the googly eyes on everything, I wanted to ask: Is a dangerous town? Because you mention shots and reaching home. Take care!

    no, Uppsala is like any other Swedish mid-sized city - harmless. I was just referring to the shots you drink and the memory loss they bring ;)
