We all realize the world is filled both with happiness and misery, but at the end of the day what truly matters is your own attitude and perspective. Positive thinking can get you far and, who knows, it may even change the reality around you!

He takes famous cartoon characters and puts them into various surroundings, creating happiness out of misery. These art works will definitely make you smile, and then break your heart.
