Children’s Illustrations In Real Life

Posted by Ross Rosenberg

Korean photographer Yeondoo Jung’s series that recreates scenes found in children’s drawings. Some are funny, some fantastical, and some are simply surreal but all of them are beautiful. If these are indeed based on actual drawings by children, one wonders how close the photos came to the original scenes envisioned in each child’s mind. Two more after the jump.

Note: The artist’s site seems to not be responding due to a traffic overload.

Update: The site seems to be up and running again. Make sure to check it out for some photos not found in the other links below.

Oh man, thanks; I had gotten linked a few times to the “oh crap, flood of people!” page & had wanted to see it.

That is clearly the wrong poncho.

Oh these are awesome! I look forward to the artist’s site being revived so I can check out more.

that heavily reminds me of the Stephen King book “The Regulators”

Wow, those photos are amazing! I really will be checking out as much of Yendoo Jung’s stuff as I possibly can! South Korea is certainly taking a lot of influence from it’s neighbor, Japan, in terms of modern art!
