Artist Nacho Gil is responsible for this series of awesome animal illustrations. It has been a long time–if ever–since I’ve seen an artist take something as played-out as animal drawings and turn it into something so fresh and cool like Gil does here.

He’s also currently running a close second to Pablo Picasso for best artist name in history.

Check out his website for more info.
