Michigan-based illustrator Bruce Worden creates funny, witty illustrations of homophones – words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings, spellings, or origins.
A self-professed grammar nerd, Worden explains the differences between the words with minimalist pictograms that visualize their meanings. Over a period of five years, he has created over 300 homophone illustrations on his blog titled Homophones, Weakly (lol). Check out the best ones below.
