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.

More than just a simple mashup, Klein carefully plans his creations so that the subjects merge, in weird and wonderful ways. See more of his work on Bored Panda:

  1. Is this for real? It is way too clever to just be a coincidence of die cuts. I like it!
