15 Clever, Witty Illustrations

Malaysian artist Chow Hon Lam makes us laugh with these clever, witty illustrations. Lam is a "modern legend" over at Threadless, where his prints can be found on countless t-shirts.

"I believe that everything should have a story behind it, no matter if they are an object, an animal or food," says Lam. "I always try to create a story for them. I guess they must have something to say, but they just can't speak. Trust me, I try to communicate with them!"

"Actually all the ideas don't come easy, I hope people can enjoy them and appreciate them. All criticisms are welcome. Thanks from deep in my heart."
