These animal drawings feature various creatures posed in human-like poses. These illustrations take animals and turn them into well-known and very widely accepted American stereotypes.
Kim Nguyen painted these art pieces in a truly anthropomorphic style and it shows. Each image uses the animal form but their expressions are so decidedly human that they almost don't seem to be either or. The stereotypes are also very well defined and easy to spot.
In one photo, a tiger is used to show the strong and fierce woman in American society and in another we see a laughing hyena taking the roll of the trigger happy mafia member. The backgrounds in each animal drawing are simple and you really get to take in the detail of each specific animal-human hybrid fully.
