You would not typically imagine animal butts as the inspiration behind works of art; however, artist Peter Jostrand has started an off-beat blog that showcases illustrations of them. The New York City-based art director designs the animals' posteriors in a minimal way so that they are humorous. The blog called ‘Flat Butts’ depicts exactly what it's name entails; the illustrations resemble "flattened" butts of animals.
They are not at all realistic-looking, as they are graphically illustrated. They are colorful and minimally designed, so it might take you a few moments to notice which animal's backside Peter has created. Some of the animal rumps on the site include those of a tiger, piggy, deer, bumble bee and even fictional "animals" like Pokemon's Pikachu.
