You’ve probably never thought about how your favorite cartoon characters would look like fossilized skulls, but there’s an artist who asked and decided to create amazing 3D sculptures. His name is Filip Hodas and he lives in Prague, Czech Republic. His latest series of sculptures portray several cartoon characters like Minnie Mouse, Popeye, and Goofy, showing their half-decayed skulls against bright and pastel backgrounds.
Each sculpture features a card that tells us the year of the character’s first appearance on TV and their made-up zoological name to make it look like they’re some old life forms that no longer live on Earth.
“Initially, I wanted to make them stylized as dinosaur fossils set up in a museum environment, but later decided against it, as the skulls didn’t look very recognizable on their own—especially with parts broken or missing. That’s why I opted for (a) less damaged look and also added some assets to each of the characters,” the artist tells This is Colossal.
