Great New Artists

This was just crazy enough for me to love. Paleontology and art collide with artist Hyungkoo Lee whose work was featured in an exhibit in Basel, Switzerland (the land of my people) which runs through August 31st.

The South Korean born Lee uses Paleontology techniques to sculpt what the skeletons of cartoon characters may look like. Such renowned figures of Western pop culture as Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry and Wyle E. Coyote are on display suspended from wires in poses typical of their environment in life (Tom is still unable to catch Jerry).

The stranger the better, rock on.
