The Takkota Famous animal-human mash-ups of various celebrities are a strange sight, but surprisingly accurate. The London-based design company created these hilarious photos of the likes of Michael Jackson, Albert Einstein, Spock, Charlie Chaplin, Amy Winehouse, Bob Marley, Audrey Hepburn, Yoda, Elvis Presley, Sasha Baron Cohen, Che Guevara, Mother Theresa and more.
The various political, religious and celebrity figures are represented by animals that surprisingly match either their face or personality. The groovy licking dog for Elvis Presley and the demure, feminine cat for Audrey Hepburn showcase the artist's ability to capture the essence of the personality they are trying to capture with the animals. Using cats, dogs and hamsters, Takkota created a hysterical masterpiece.
