Love This! Zoo Portraits

5/1/2013

Okay, so I know that the blog has been a bit serious this week; therefore, I think it's only appropriate that we have a little fun today. And what better way to let down our collective hair [online] than to look at some fashionable zoo animals, all gussied up to have their portraits taken? 

Amazingly enough, these portraits are actually the creations of Barcelona-based graphic artist Yago Partal. He uses photo manipulation to assemble these hysterically realistic images of animals, dressed to the nines in their Sunday best, staring right into the camera lens. My oh my, do they make me smile. 

You can take a look at some of my favorites from this series below:

Oh my gosh, do you know what I think is craziest about this collection? That I started to make assumptions about the animals' personalities based on what they're wearing and their facial expressions. For instance, the Koala looks a bit dorky, the bull looks like a rough-around-the-edges tough guy, the lemur looks ready to go/get in a fight/cause some trouble, and the raccoon looks like a witty hipster (and therefore, I love him). Crazy, right? Clothes really do make the MANimal ;)

You can view all of Partal's Zoo Portraits and even purchase prints (so fun!) on his website, here. I only wish he had a meerkat, and I'd be all over that for Ben's next present.

Namaste!

Ha! I also find myself giving them voices - which has made my morning coffee so much more enjoyable :-) These look like memes in the making!
