This dad uses Photoshop to turn his kids' drawings into reality - and the results are terrifying
Tom Curtis works in content marketing in the UK, but it's his own content that's going viral.
On his Instagram account @thingsihavedrawn, he takes his son's drawings...
And uses Photoshop to bring them to life.
The results are somewhere between adorable and creepy.
Like this portrait of Curtis that looks harmless as a cartoon...
Then forays into the uncanny valley.
The "uncanny valley" describes a phenomenon in which images appear human, but are not quite right and thus cause a sense of unease.
Not all of Curtis' images are frightening, like this clownfish that's cute enough to be a scene-stealer in "Finding Nemo."
Or this harmlessly ill-proportioned penguin.
Inanimate objects are also fair game, like the new family car.
The father-son team's imaginative, unnerving photos hit the front page of Reddit.
"I think Dom and I are going viral," Curtis tweeted when @thingsihavedrawn passed 44,000 followers.
Indeed.
