A New York City artist named Tom Bob is transforming seemingly bland street objects in the Big Apple. We’re talking utility meters, pipes, and forgotten pieces of concrete that most folks walk by every single day without noticing.
If the work of street artist Tom Bob doesn’t bring a smile to your face today, we’re not sure what will. The artist takes mundane street furniture like manhole covers, electric meters, pipes, bike racks and transforms them into cartoon-based creations. New Yorkers may be most familiar with the manhole cover turned into frying pan with sunny side up eggs, but Tom Bob’s body of work is, in many ways, much more elaborate and of a larger breadth that the one piece may suggest.
