Creepy: Cereal Box Mascots Get The Realistic Treatment

October 19, 2012

This is 'Breakfast Time', a series of digital paintings by artist Guillermo Fajardo featuring lifelike versions of cereal mascots. This is Cap'n 'Come Sit On My Lap' Crunch here, but there's Tony the Tiger, the Trix Rabbit and Count Chocula after the jump. Admittedly, Guillermo did an amazing job, but I can understand why the cereal manufacturers opted for cartoon versions instead. If I had to eat breakfast with any of these guys staring back at me I'd probably run away from home. "You could just go hungry until lunch you know." And miss the most important meal of the day? I'd rather live in the woods!

Hit the jump for the other three and two time-lapse videos of Guillermo painting the Trix Rabbit.

    Why did they turn the animal mascots into humans in costumes?

  • GreyGanado

    Because anthropomorphic animals aren't realistic.

  • CptnKookles

    Neither is Zoidburg, or Sonic the Hedgehog, or the proportions of any of the other realistic drawings. The realistic genre is taking whats there, and showing what that would look like if it excited in the real world.

    These area really well done. I might consider printing one off and pasting it to a cereal box as a hilarious prank.
