Dr. Seuss is one of the most beloved children's book series that encapsulates imaginative and otherworldly character and places in a fictional story filled with powerful lessons. 'The Art of Dr. Seuss' is a website that transforms these fictional characters into wall art home owners can display by presenting the characters as taxidermy. The macabre spin on the uplifting children's books offers a juxtaposition of the two sentiments.

While it might be too dark for a child to see their favorite literary characters depicted as beheaded taxidermy, the detail and artistry in each piece transforms the characters into works of art. Each piece stays true to the illustrations and color scheme by further bringing them to life using three dimensional material.
