Known for his surreal and hilarious creations, the UK-based anonymous artist has amassed a legion of devoted fans. From animations for the BBC to commissions for national newspapers and ironic World Cup t-shirt designs, it's clear that his weird sense of humour has tickled thousands.

Hiive commissioned the artist to highlight the variety of industries represented on their website; from photography to graphic design, Chris' tongue-in-cheek approach will have you in stitches. "His pictures capture some of the more surreal moments that may happen in the day-to-day of the most coveted creative job roles out there," said Burke.
