After aspiring violinist Julia Borzucka was injured, she turned her talents to sketching, and her work is so amazing, transforming familiar photos into backgrounds for her characters. Has she worked her magic on a place you love? Let's find out.
1 London
This giant hamster has no interest in wreaking Gozdilla-like havoc on his city. No, he just wants to exercise.
Frequently asked questions
2 Table for One?
It isn't that you can't find a date, it's that you also value alone time, so treat yourself to dinner on a rooftop table for one.
3 New York City
I can't think of a better spot to read a book or have a quick nap, can you?
4 San Francisco
You see the Golden Gate Bridge. Julia sees an ideal spot for beach volleyball.
5 The Lake
I think this was every child's fear after JAWS came out. A shark in the lake, or in your pool, or in the bathtub even...
6 Earth
Ha! I love this one! I've often felt like I couldn't breathe while I was using a ball for sit-ups, too, but her excuse -- no air! -- is so much better than mine.
7 Synchronized Swimming
Can you imagine being one of the wee people on the beach?
8 Upside down!
What else are you going to do with electric wires when you're a 30-foot-tall child?
9 Freeway
Again, I could absolutely see a giant child doing something like this... also, taking the cars off the road and making them "crash" into each other.
10 Tucked in
The sound of rolling waves is so relaxing, I could totally fall asleep on the shore...
11 In the Clouds
At first I thought this would be better if the man were facing front, but I actually do like it better this way.
12 Nail Polish
I'd absolutely wear a nail polish in this soft pink color, wouldn't you?
13 Beach Bods
Does anyone know what this sculpture is called? And why it sets such unrealistic body expectations?
14 Playing Planes
I'd hate to live so close to an airport -- can you imagine how loud it would be? -- but I'm sure the giant kids would love it.
15 Swimming
This is what I've always wanted to do in the clouds, from the plane... that, or just float on my back.
16 Peek, Baby!
Who wouldn't love a game of peek-a-boo with a sweet little baby, here among the tall buildings?
17 Paper Boats
I wish I knew how to fold these... smaller ones, not the giant ones, that is.
