Though we grew up love Disney characters -- and the villains -- we really never knew that we needed to see them reimagined. But as artists have proven to us time, after time, after time, we absolutely did. Now an artist known online as Beefcake Boss, is dusting off his version.
Having been a professional artist for the past two decades, Beefcake Boss creates cute, platyful, and cheeky beefcake art -- which makes sense with the name. And while he doesn't take the work too seriously, his almost 20,000 followers do! They share his reimaginings of Excalibur, Pokemon, various comics, and more online. Recently, the artist went back into his archive of work to dust off a series.
With the ongoing global pandemic, the artist is out of work. To kick up some new commissions he shared a 2017 series of work where he turned Disney characters into "Bulky Baddies." The result ... well take a look for yourself.
