Two unsuspecting characters are about to turn a corner and walk into the biggest surprise of their lives. These are the visual puns of Jorge Martin (@yorsmartin), a Spanish illustrator living in London, who finds humor everywhere. “I laugh about everything, even my own shadow,” he says. In each of his playful drawings, Jorge pairs two opposing, yet complementary, concepts — think a nut and a bolt, or a vacuum cleaner and dust bunnies — and leaves the viewer imagining what their interaction would entail. “I like to think about the faces they’re going to pull in that moment,” he says. “I burst out laughing just thinking about their expressions.”
