# Flying Frogs Russian Artists' Obsession With Flying Amphibians By Cowbag | Published 2008-07-13 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-frogs-russian-artists-obsession-with-flying-amphibians References: [mi-mi.ru](http://www.mi-mi.ru/index.phtml?tt&id=14) These unique photos show what you get when you combine two [artists from Moscow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartment-with-a-lizard), a camera and obsession that a frog should fly. This series is titled '[art prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche)'. The artists create the photos by taking different shots of the frog in a “flight” - individually naming each of them. I think it is plain cruel - because, hey, frogs have feelings too! To justify this messed up project, the artists note, "The jump of frog symbolizes thirst of flying. As genetic magic dream, about that far time, when frogs were the ANGELS”. Frankly this is the first time I hear about the link between frogs and angels:" ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Photographic Art Trends:** Exploring new forms of artistic expression through unconventional subjects like flying frogs. - **Animal Rights Awareness:** Raising awareness about the ethical treatment of animals, including frogs, in artistic projects. - **Symbolism in Art:** Using symbolic representations, such as frogs as angels, to convey deeper meanings in artwork. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to push creative boundaries and experiment with unusual subjects, like flying frogs. - **Animal Rights Activism:** Opportunity for advocacy organizations to promote ethical treatment of animals in art and discourage harmful practices. - **Art Education:** Opportunity for educators to teach about symbolism and the exploration of unconventional subjects in art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creature-Themed Amphibian Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esenes-worldwide-frog-clogs.md) - [Aquatic Amphibian Children's Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacos-frog.md) - [Small Amphibious Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-frog.md) - [Home-Defining Artistic Flags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-is-temporary.md) - [Frog-Topped QSR Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goblin-pizza.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Durable High-End Frog-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goliath-frogman.md) - [Fly-Attracting Seltzer Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truly-hard-seltzer-ad.md) - [Whimsical Regulator Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfrogettable.md)
