# Winter-Ready Animal Art David Fleck Outfits these Outdoor Creatures in Warm Apparel By Jason Soy | Published 2011-12-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-fleck References: [urhajos.tumblr](http://urhajos.tumblr.com/post/13940142837/lucky-shot-by-david-fleck) & [society6](http://society6.com/Fleck) The animals in these David Fleck illustrations may or may not be hipsters. It all boils down to whether or not they're wearing their winter apparel for style or for utility, and judging by the titles of each image, it's the latter. I actually find these David Fleck illustrations highly entertaining. It's not every day you see an otter with a hat or a deer wearing a sweater that only covers its torso. Adding to the fun is Fleck's inclusion of Christmas carol lyrics in the form of speech bubbles to go along with each animal. It really takes personification to a new level. Fans of these whimsical images will no doubt want to check out the rest of David Fleck's portfolio, which features surreal architecture images as well as pictures inspired by famous novels. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Winter Apparel for Animals:** Opportunity for companies to create functional yet stylish winter apparel for pets and outdoor animals. - **Personification in Art:** Opportunity for artists to create animal-themed art that incorporates personification and humor. - **Surreal Animal Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore surrealism within animal-themed art. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Apparel Industry:** A chance for pet apparel companies to create functional and fashionable winter clothing for pets. - **Art Industry:** Opportunity for contemporary artists who specialize in animal-themed art to explore personification. - **Home Decor Industry:** An opportunity for businesses in home decor to create unique animal-themed art pieces that incorporate humor and personification. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Printed Pet Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smiley-sweater.md) - [Adorable Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberrys-holiday-campaign.md) - [One-Piece Adult Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puffer-chubbsie.md) - [Arty Knitwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear.md) - [Wintery Cartoon Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/market-x-peanuts.md) - [Rugged Winter-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-collection-2.md) - [Limited-Edition Hood Trims](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hood-trim.md) - [Art-Driven Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaws-x-uniqlo-winter-2025.md)
