I can't believe I've only just discovered this artist's ingenious optical illusions

Images of miniature optical illusions of a bath made from bread and a woman ironing crinkle-cut potato chips.

A restaurant on top of a retro cassette player? A rocket trailing tempura flames? A maid ironing crinkle-cut potato chips? Anything's possible in the work of the Japanese photographer Tatsuya Tanaka, who specialises in creating surreal miniature optical illusions by using everyday objects to recreate daily situations.

I've only just discovered his work, but Tatsuya has been posting scenes like the ghetto blaster restaurant below on Instagram every day since 2011. He's created all kinds of situations, even including characters like the Minions and Nintendo's Super Mario.
