Jason Freeny is the self-proclaimed "son of hippies," a wildly weird artist and designer whose series of anatomical toy sculpture are terrifying and awesome. Freeny acquired a degree in industrial design at Pratt, then went on to work for MTV as a designer and artist. He has a youthful imagination that both astounds and disturbs. These imagined anatomy studies challenge the boundaries of childlike and adult, giving three dimensions to an otherwise very illustrative idea. Freeny's work is both innocent and strange, scientific and fanciful, mature and youthful.   

This isn't the first time we have posted about Jason Freeny and his dissection of pop-culture toys (see Care Bears), but we have to hand it to him on these giant LEGO men that he has sculpted and, of course, dissected. Nothing says Thursday morning blues like seeing the hypothetical guts of your favorite children's toys.

When Ron English launched his "Lucy Exposed" vinyl figure awhile back, it caused quite a stir because here was a childhood character . . . well . . .  exposed. Now, English takes it to another level: the "Lucy Exposed" Dissected 8" vinyl figure.

This one is a gem, the Care Bear Anatomical Sculpt by Jason Freeny. He calls it "sort of a sculpture." Bigger look after the jump . . .
