Illustrator and cartoonist Leon Edler admits his biggest love is comedy. “I’m a comedy nerd and grew up loving everything from 50s radio comedy to modern sitcoms,” he told Sense of Creativity, mentioning names like Tony Hancock, Seinfeld, and Alan Partridge amongst his comedic icons.

“I wanted to make stuff that made people laugh,” says Edler. As it turns out, that “stuff” would be illustrations and cartoons. “I thought that would be for TV, but I liked how immediate cartoons were,” he explains. “I could draw them and make my friends laugh.” As time passed, his drawing improved, catching up to his sense of humor.

Jump forward a decade later and Edler now runs his own illustration studio, Leillo, based in Brighton. Over the years he has collaborated with the best of the best, including publications and news outlets like The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Guardian, CNN, and Vanity Fair.

“I’m sure everyone is creative in some way,” says Edler. “But it’s a spectrum like anything. I think if you’re really creative, you will always feel a need to make stuff – whether that’s writing, drawing, making music or whatever. But to make good stuff, you need to spend a lot of time practicing – finding what you’re good and bad at.” His confident style and hand-drawn humor provide a well needed comic relief.

Artist looking to “bring to life” cartoon and animated characters isn’t anything new, but the way digital artist Omerika does it is really intriguing. She takes iconic scenes from movies and TV shows and replaces people in it with cartoon characters.

According to Omerika, the idea of her project is to “bring back nostalgic memories for some people” while also inspiring people who haven’t had a chance to watch some of these feature and series to do so.

Some examples of her work include replacing Andrew Lincoln’s character from Love Actually with Kristoff from Frozen and having Up’s Carl Fredricksen changing places with Forest Gump.

Omerika regularly shares her latest works on Instagram profile @onefairyfail. Check out some of this entertaining art below.

Instagram user tatimoons has come up with creative versions of our favorite cartoon characters. She adds a modern twist which makes them more relatable. Some of the characters are given a defiant personality, and she uses subtle messages to pass this across to her viewers.

For instance, her rendition of sleeping beauty wears modern clothes, and she added a defiant statement which prohibited anybody from kissing her while she was asleep. Also, Cinderella wears a shirt that says she’s not a housemaid.

Aside from passing a strong message, these images are simply amazing. They help satisfy our fantasies about what those characters would have looked like if they were actual human characters.

The artist posts her work on her Instagram page, and most of her paintings are posted on her page. Scroll below to see most of her beautiful work in the gallery below.

You have probably heard about #StyleChallenge, which challenges artists to draw cartoon characters in their own style. One of the artists who really nailed the challenge is NYC based, Elena Manetta.

Elena first draws the characters in their original style and then reimagines them by using her own style. The results turned out great.

“I really like drawing overly muscular characters,” – said Elena. “I don’t know if that’s obvious from my own characters or not. It allows me to give a lot of curvy features to a man without making them look feminine.”

Here are some of Elena’s works.

2. Mickey Mouse
