Instead of brushes and pens, James Cook utilizes a typewriter to recreate some of the most famous paintings. The artist from the United Kingdom has created one-of-a-kind masterpieces by combining his passions— typewriters and paintings. The art pieces are constructed from several thousand letters and symbols from the keyboard. Cook also employs this ingenious strategy to transform some of art history's most well-known paintings into these extraordinary works of typewriter art. He uses a combination of characters to render the design, as he does in his other works, which range from detailed portraits to sweeping cityscapes, according to My Modern Met

James Cook's website (JamesCookArtwork) and his social media handles are filled with his terrific artwork that people love and admire. Cook has it all stacked up!

There is also a play with shadows and contrasts to make the paintings more realistic. Let's look at some of his creations, and get ready to pick your favorite one!
