When American artist Tom Bob sees something in his surroundings that isn’t aesthetically pleasing, he doesn't just accept it. He changes it. Using street ‘eye-sores’ like poles or electrical terminals, Tom creates colorful and clever pieces that interact with their surroundings. Tom is mostly active in his home city of New York, but after his graffiti art started gaining recognition, his works also appeared on the streets of Kaoshiung in Taiwan, Dubai in the UAE, and various other locations around the world.
Scroll down to see how Tom’s whimsical and creative works reshape otherwise ordinary urban landscapes. To see more of the artist's work, you can visit his Instagram page.
