Christopher Hill is a Canadian illustrator and animator who re-imagines classic Disney art into a series that is inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins. Assigning specific characters with corresponding sins, Hill pairs Beauty and the Beast's Belle with vanity while associating The Little Mermaid's Ariel with greed.
Other Disney characters featured in the series include Peter Pan's Tinker Bell who's sin is envy along with Snow White who is marked with gluttony. Made up of seven characters, this Disney art series by Christopher Hill will appeal to the studio's die-hard fans and pop culture fans alike.
In addition to paying tribute to Disney's famous faces, the artist also depicts DC Comics icons and anime characters like Sailor moon on his Deviant Art page.
