Cartoon skeletons
 
I suppose this is as good a place as any for this.

Totally awesome collection of images on display in a gallery in Oregon. It's here and not in Tilted Artwork because it's not my art.

A character study of 22 present and past cartoon characters.

Animation was the format of choice for children's television in the 1960s, a decade in which children's programming became almost entirely animated. Growing up in that period, I tended to take for granted the distortions and strange bodies of these entities.

I decided to take a select few of these popular characters and render their skeletal systems as I imagine they might resemble if one truly had eye sockets half the size of its head, or fingerless-hands, or feet comprising 60% of its body mass.

Each character resides on a translucent, hinged panel. When the panel is lifted the character’s skeletal structure is revealed giving each a certain validity and glimpse into its origins. Each panel is hand-drawn with archival ink and covered with an acrylic/acetate transparency.

The photos of Hello Kitty on the site give an accurate idea of what the actual, assembled pieces look like---with the hinged translucent cover both closed and open. The rest of the characters shown on the site are approximations of what the transparency overlay looks like since I don’t have actual photographs of all of them.

Twenty-two of these are currently on display at Stumptown (Belmont location) in Portland, Oregon the month of December 2004

Each one is 7.5 x 5.5 inches.

The Schmoo can't have a skeleton... unless the skeleton was very soft and rubbery.
