PacMan Skull Sculpture

Posted on May 22, 2007 - 5:53am
Last September I posted a little piece about a new exhibit by Hyungkoo Lee entitled Animatus, featuring sculptures of famous cartoon characters' skeletons and anatomical drawings.
 
Even more appealing to my aging nerd artistic sensibilities are these pictures from Le Gentil Garçon (via Kanardo).
 
"PacMan’s skeleton, conceived by Le Gentil Garçon, in collaboration with François Escuilié, palaeontologist, from the comparative observation of human and various predatory animal skulls. 2004, Resin, diameter: 65 cm."

I especially loved the tail bone. That means that prehistoric PacMan had a tail. He would have looked like a giant yellow sperm. How apres pos don't you think?

...Pac-man was an omnivore. Were the dots vegitable and the ghosts animals, y'think? *coff*

This is what Billy Michell sees in his dreams at night. Then he wakes up in a cold sweat screaming, huddling his only companion, his life size replica of Donkey Kong.

“Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music”

That's absolutely true. Excuse me for a moment - this stupid monkey keeps throwing barrels at me. "STOP IT, ASSHOLE!" Where's my freakin' hammer?

We are all running around in darkened rooms, chopping pills and listening to some sort of psychedelic music. It's a generation that never played Pac-man but inherited the game trough the parents' genes. ________ hp laser toner

I like this one. Though the eye socket place needs a little work. Maybe it's based off the actual arcade pacman, and not the illustrated character that was always on a side of the arcade machine. Still pretty neat.
