Artist Dan Luvisi offers twisted takes on familiar childhood characters
A badass Buzz Lightyear. A homicidal Fozzie Bear. A felonious Tigger. These are among the disturbing delights to be found on the blog of digital artist Dan Luvisi. Luvisi, who has previously toiled in the video game and comics industries and is currently preparing an illustrated book about “a Bounty Hunter and the extraordinary characters in his path,” has recently been using his personal blog to showcase his lovingly detailed yet undeniably disturbing renditions of some friendly, familiar characters from the realms of animation and puppetry. One image, for instance, has the normally gentle Kermit the Frog reenacting a particularly bloody scene from Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive.
