OUIL505 Artist research

Does anyone else use animals in this way??
>Merging animals with humans

Found on Behance - Katie Troy
>used collage of pig and stalin - merge together for the animal farm book cover
>ripped paper, 3D effect


John Tenniel - Alice in Wonderland - although this obviously isn't very contemporary - but depicts the human animals well


Kim Nguyen - Anthropomorphic animals 'anthros' - depicting animals with human personalities 


Charlotte Caron - Paints animals heads/faces on top of portrait photographs


Thomas Couderc & Clement Vauchez - People and animals merged together using 3D anaglyph technique - photography and not illustration but still looks cool 


Miguel Vallinas - Photography - animals in human clothes


What I got from this?
>A lot of artists mash up animals and humans, but it seems to be in a random way, not specifically linked to personality traits. 
>The  artist research shows to me that apart from in fabels & films, the link to animal and humans in art hasn't really been considered much. This means that there is a gap in the market for my kind of work, as it hasn't been done before - which is good.
>This research has also shown me more about different medias that I can try out which is useful.
