Obviously this would have been much harder to animate.
And, as a bonus, Marge Simpson in the style of Johannes Vermeer.
And as a bonus bonus. Groundskeeper Willie Van Gogh style.
And Darth Vader Monet style…

Smurfs in real life…
Not quite so cute now. Are they. When you think about it, Smurfs are more likely to be anthropomorphised rodents than little hominoids.
The artist, Nate Hallinan explains his approach…
“The Smurf is actually the result of a symbiotic relationship between two organisms. We believe that Smurfs put their ’embryos’ in the button of a developing mushroom. From a distance, Smurfs seem like they are wearing a hat and pants but as you can see this is a fallacy. The fungus provides camouflage and protective epidermal layers for the creature, while the creature provides nutrients and mobility for the spreading of spores.”
The South Park kids in real life
I enjoy South Park on the occasions I manage to see it (not often). So this artistic rendering of the characters in humanoid form tickled my funny bone.

Bare boned cartoons
These cartoon skeletons follow a similar vein (or lack of veins) to the Pacman one from last week. They’re from designer Hyung Koo Lee.
Here’s Bugs Bunny.
And an anatomic drawing of his head.

Real Life Spongebob
Cartoon characters in real life are always good post fodder. Here’s Spongebob…
And perhaps more worthily, his friend Patrick…
Not quite as scary as Popeye…
Mr Burns in real life
I don’t know that I could work for this guy (or the cartoon version for that matter)… but I do like untoonings.
Life on Evergreen Terrace
Just how committed do you have to be to design and build your house based on a cartoon?
I don’t know. Perhaps this answers your question…
Sadly, it’s a house built by Fox and Pepsi as a prize in a competition. Not by some fanatic nutjob. But if you want to try this at home – or with your home – there are some factors to take into consideration.
“The rooms are somewhat small and uncommonly vertical. Doorways are extra-wide and arched, to accommodate Marge’s hair and Homer’s girth. Walls will be painted in bright colors and shaded to duplicate the cartoon’s style. When possible, furnishings and accents, including Marge’s corn-print curtains in the kitchen, are being faithfully reproduced. (Robinson notes that the color of the Simpson’s refrigerator alone changed seven times over the years. The residents will have to paint the fridge themselves.)
“Our people watched 56 episodes of ‘The Simpsons,’ over the course of a weekend,” Robinson said. “One thing they found out, early on, was that (the house) was structurally unsound.”
“No load-bearing walls anywhere,” agreed Joseph Leas, the local director of construction. “They never show closets (on the show); they were a complete mystery.”
Here’s a gallery of shots from the house. Here are some samples.
