'Animals' by Job van der Mole Modifies Insects Into Worker Bots

— April 17, 2010 — Art & Design
'Animals' by Job van der Mole is a photo set that turns insects into worker bots. A dragonfly becomes a helicopter, a bee wields a miniature tank upon his back, and a wee skull is outfitted with the blade of a set of hair clippers. Job van der Mole's insects may once have been all-natural, but their present state is anything but.

We've seen a number of hybrid animals created by artists; most come from the steampunk movement. See my favorites below.
