Artist adds monsters to everyday situations because life's boring
For anyone who's ever taken a photo, only to think, "this would be better with monsters trying to eat everyone," you're not alone.
Artist and photographer Jasper St Aubyn West, also known as Tail Jar, took on a self-imposed sketch challenge to make the mundane scenes of everyday life a bit more interesting. And it involved drawing a lot more teeth.

West said the idea came to him while in Las Vegas. "I checked out the strip on the first day I was there and found I didn't have the urge to take many photos," he told Mashable.
"Everyone had a camera! I realized there must be countless thousands of photos out there taken from exactly the same angle of exactly the same thing," West said. "It got me thinking about trying to find a slightly more unique way to document my journeys."
After he got an iPad Pro, he found a way to inject more imagination -- and monsters -- into his photos.
West said he mostly tries to think of his shots from a different perspective, and then he adds his not-so-friendly faces from there.
