South Korean artist and sculptor Hyungkoo Lee has created a series—titled “Animatus”—that consists of realistic skeleton sculptures of well-known cartoon charaters.
Featuring beloved characters like Tweety Bird, Jerry Mouse and Wile E. Coyote, the series shows an unseen side of them—their insides.
Fascinating and disturbing at once, these life-like sculptures actually make the fictional characters they represent feel more real, as they allow us to re-imagine them as existing animals that have bones beneath their illustrated skins.
View more images of the series below and on the artist’s website—can you identify the cartoon characters in their skeletal forms?
