The pressure to look good on social media sites can be tedious. Between untagging unflattering photos, carefully wording your statuses, and maintaining a blog- there is barely time to actually enjoy it. It can sometimes feel like every YouTube star is selling out and your Farmville sheep just won’t eat anymore. But there are some internet-lovers who refuse to let social media become monotonous.

What started as a quest for an out-of-the-ordinary profile picture grew into an incredible tribute to iconic cartoon characters. Gaikuo-Captain, a Beijing chemical engineering student, combined his passion for comic books and his illustration talents to create life-sized, 3D murals that he can interact with. The characters his drawings feature can be found in comic books, action movies, Pokémon, and popular manga. Why take another selfie if you could be battling Batman or capturing Pokémon?
The amount of shading and perspective it must take to create the Hulk crashing through your house and Spiderman scaling the walls of your dining room is admirable. Gaikuo-Captain inserts himself right into the middle of the action packed adventures of his wall murals almost flawlessly; he gives a whole new meaning to becoming one with your art. I bet Gaikuo-Captain was not expecting his hobby to make him famous. Gaikuo-Captain’s wild illustrations can be found all over the internet, including: Tumblr, Fubiz.net, Crunchyroll, My Modern Met, AOL.com, and Comics Alliance. Fulfill your comic book hopes and dreams by checking out his amazing artwork.
