"A viral British photographer is celebrating ten years of transforming iconic landmarks across the world with humorous cutouts to put a smile on people's faces. London is the city that Rich McCor, @paperboyo on Instagram, first used as his artistic playground to hone his niche craft. But now Mr McCor, 38, travels the world adding amusing and thought-provoking stencils to famous buildings."
"This year marked ten years since I started my style of photography, and London is where it all began for me. And even today, every time I explore the city with my camera, I'm constantly inspired by the cityscape and the energy that London seems to conjure up. I love celebrating the new architecture such as Fulham Pier but I'm equally as excited by returning to London's classic scenes such as the Lions at Trafalgar Square and finding a new way to look at those icons."
"Mr McCor lived in London for 15 years before moving to Brighton three years ago. He was mainly based near Battersea Park. In 2015 one of the first vignettes Mr McCor made was adding a bow shooting through an apple to the statue of Eros in Piccadilly Circus. Since then he has travelled across the globe to places including New York, Singapore and Hong Kong."
