The ‘ol jigsaw puzzle doesn’t get a lot of love these days. Usually tossed in it’s box in a closet somewhere, it’s fair to say people aren’t scrambling to collect the latest and greatest jigsaw puzzle releases. Don’t tell that to Vancouver-based artist Tim Klein, however. Klein noticed that many puzzles share the same die that cuts the pieces, and he’s expertly combined them to make fantastic and surrealistic creations.
