Here’s another example of an illustrator recreating the characters of old. But this time he’s attempted to capture what it would look like if we could study their original skeletons. Illustrator Michael Paulus explains the reasoning behind the series,
“I decided to take a select few of these popular characters and render their skeletal systems as I imagine they might resemble if one truly had eye sockets half the size of its head, or fingerless-hands, or feet comprising 60% of its body mass.
These characters have become conventions that are set, defined, and well-known personas in our culture. Being that they are so commonplace and accepted as existing I thought I would dissect them like science does to all living objects - trying to come to an understanding as to their origins and true physiological make up. Possibly to better understand them and see them in a new light for what they are in the most basic of terms.”
His list of 22 characters includes:
Tweety
Charlie Brown
and Betty Boop amongst others.
