Inanimate Objects Turned Into Colorful Characters

French multimedia artist Gilbert Legrand is either in need of some really strong psych meds, the kind that keep you from hallucinating, or he simply has such a vivid imagination that he sees colorful characters in every inanimate object he comes across throughout his day.

His whimsical series of sculptures turn the objects we use in our daily lives, like corkscrews, zippers, faucets and spray bottles, into hilariously lively anthropomorphic characters, some of which seem to personify the object itself while others simply use elements of the original object as part of the character design.

I'll never look at a dripping faucet the same way ever again!

It is the earliest known repurposing attempt archaeologists have yet discovered. After a prison was closed, a guard took two shackles & two tin cups and repurposed them as a thingimybob!

That's one example of Victorian era mudflaps for horses. See the little hole in the flap? That's where the brass naked lady used to be attached.

It's an old victorian codpiece. Notice how it can open for either your night out with the town's ha'penny trollop, or to check yourself for the Clap afterwards

This is actually a male chastity belt used in an amazon society. The chastity may be removed only in times where reproduction is required by a virgin princess.

I think when people butcher their own pigs and chickens, they use a torch to burn off the hair, so this could have been used for that.

Early prototype for a flame thrower artificial hand replacement. Sort of like how Ash had the chainsaw hand in Army of Darkness. Unfortunately it didn't shoot the flames very far and wasn't very useful in holding off the legions of evil.
