A street artist is using his creative talents to bring joy to the homeless by spray-painting beds, windows and furniture onto the walls they sleep against.

The Los Angeles-based artist, who goes by Skid Robot, posts photos on Instagram of all the imaginary homes he creates for homeless people on Skid Row - from four-poster beds and pillows to windows with a view of the moon.

In creating these make-believe spaces, he also befriends the homeless, giving them money, bringing them care packages and raising awareness of poverty by telling their stories.

Giving homes to the homeless: A Los Angeles street artist named Skid Robot is using his creative talents to bring joy to the homeless by spray painting beds, windows and furniture onto the walls they sleep against

Make-believe: He posts photos on Instagram of all the imaginary homes he creates for homeless people on Skid Row - from four-poster beds and pillows to thrones, windows and outdoor scenery

His aim is to change the way people see the homeless. 'It's taking something that is nothing and making it something that people enjoy,' he explained to Vice.

'By taking something heartbreaking that is overlooked as nothing of importance and artistically transforming it into something with meaning that people can enjoy and be inspired by.'

One of Skid Robot's subjects is J.W., a former artist from Florida who is pictured lying down in a pile of blankets in front of a red wall.

The wall has been painted to look as though it is inside a bedroom, with a four-poster bed, two bedside tables with lamps and a window overhead.

'He asked for art supplies and some gear. We'll do our best to hook him up proper,' Skid Robot writes in the caption.

'J.W had a lot to say that made me reflect on my own life. Always keep an open mind and a open heart, wisdom is found in listening.'

For a cause: He ends each post with a sequence of hashtags like 'help the poor' and 'feed the needy'

Another person featured in Skid Robot's series is a man named Ben. In his photo, he hunches over in a wheelchair. The wall behind him has been painted to make the chair look like a royal throne atop a castle.

'Ben was released from the hospital with no shoes. He was unable to walk as a result of being shot in the back and eventually the hospital booted him on the street like so many others,' writes the artist.

Thoughts: In some instances, Skid Robot paints thought bubbles above sleeping homeless people, with the bubbles depicting food or dollar signs

Fulfilling needs: One of his subjects is Tony (pictured). Skid Robot explains in the caption that Tony and his friends 'desperately needed water more than anything they said so we delivered 10 gallons'

'I offered him a meal but he declined, instead he asked for paper, pencils, pens so that he can write and draw... I had a sketchbook that was fairly new and a few pens and markers I was able to give him on the spot along with a lil money so he can eat later'.

Tony, another homeless man in Skid Robot's series, told him that he and the other residents on his block were in desperate need of water, so Skid Robot brought them ten gallons.

Often Skid Robot strikes up a friendship with those involved in his art - like Birdman, one of the more outgoing homeless men he has encountered.

'We got him Chick-fil-A that night, and he'd never had it, so to him it was an extraordinary treat,' he recalls.

Ruler of the streets: 'A king without a crown,' the artist captioned this photograph

Thought-provoking: In his Instagram bio, Skid Robot describes himself as 'an anonymous artist amongst the streets of skidrow, giving to those in need. Creating a dialogue for a solution to extreme poverty through art'

'We talked to him, and he shared with us some of his Hollywood stories. It got real personal with Birdman.'

In some instances, Skid Robot paints thought bubbles above sleeping homeless people, with the bubbles depicting food or dollar signs.

And for one homeless man sleeping in a tent, he created a forest scene in the background, giving the impression that the man was simply camping in the woods.
