Animals Dressed As People By Cristoph Meyer

We�ve all probably met or at least seen a person out there whose face or habits instantly reminded you of an animal � an old woman with fierce eyes and a long nose who looked like an eagle or a quick, darting, distracted, bird-like man. German artist Cristoph Meyer has taken this one step further by creating carefully-crafted manipulated portraits that combine people�s bodies with animals� heads.

What�s fun about this series, beyond the fact that it has people with animals� heads, is that such a silly subject is executed so well. Meyer�s manipulations seem fairly realistic, and the animals are well-matched with their human counterparts � they look like they belong. While Meyer�s work is unique and original, he isn�t the first to have come up with the idea of matching people with animals � Yago Partal and Miguel Vallinas have created similar sets of works. Theirs are centered around animals and fashion, while Meyer�s work is more about creating dynamic characters and portraits.
