What if the Colosseum was invaded by a giant octopus squirming its legs in and out of the columns? Or how would the statue of David look in a pair of boxers?
London-based paper artist and photographer Rich McCor, who goes by "Paperboyo," looks at landmarks and statues like these, and uses paper to reimagine them in fun and silly ways.

McCor transforms these works of art by adding a simple paper cutout in the foreground of the photographs. With only one piece of paper, the tourist attractions are reborn.
He draws on inspiration from everything from pop culture...
...to history...
...to anything in between to create his quirky pieces.
