I have two big obsessions in my life: science--particularly zoology--is one. The other is cartoons. Well, I discovered an artist, who I think is meant to be my best friend. He is a Korean artist named Hyungkoo Lee, and he has an art exhibition currently touring the world called Animatus. The exhibit features hand-fabricated skeletons of famous cartoon characters along with detailed anatomical drawings. According to the Lee, the Animatus series started with the “intention to analyze anatomical structures and physical forms of animation characters, within the hypothesis to visualize their possible anatomical foundation.” He constructs the skeletons using a hybrid mix of real animal bones and synthetic materials. You have to see some of these:
Bugs Bunny

Donald Duck
Mickey Mouse
