The world is full of creativity, but we’re certain that you haven’t seen art quite like this before. James Cook is an artist who makes awe-inspiring typewriter art; yes, you read that right! All he needs is a typewriter, and he can “draw” you, your pet, or anything else that comes to your mind. You can find his creations on his Instagram page.
1. “I am somewhere between a snake and a mongoose...and a panther.”
2. “The typewriter, on which the art was created, was used to process over 15,000 letters a year at Buckingham Palace.”
