# Gentlemanly Animal Makeovers The Ryan Berkley Illustration Series Shows a Dapper Side of Wildlife By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-08-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryan-berkley-illustration References: [honestlywtf](http://honestlywtf.com/art/dapper-creatures/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/people/berkleyillustration) The hilarious and adorably dapper Ryan Berkley Illustration series features a wide variety of cute creates all dressed up. A duck as a businessman, a donkey in a tuxedo and an [investigative bear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boss-2) all make this collection a fantastically awesome find. The impressively illustrated cartoons have a great grasp on wildlife creatures. The detailing on the mallard, for instance, has an amazing idea of the way light reflects off of an actual duck's feathers and the rich texture and color of the bird. The slick, wet furs of the otter is another way in which Berkley has demonstrated his impressive artistic ability. Available through [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock), these adorably impressive creative illustrations would make for a great whimsical wall art idea for your home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dapper Animal Illustrations:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create unique and stylish animal-themed products and artwork. - **Whimsical Home Decor:** Opportunity for businesses in the home decor industry to offer whimsical and creative animal-themed products. - **Personalized Artwork:** Opportunity for artists and online retailers to provide customized artwork featuring dressed-up animals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can leverage the trend of dapper animal illustrations to create new artwork and products. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can tap into the trend by offering whimsical animal-themed products for consumers. - **E-commerce:** Online retailers can take advantage of the trend by offering personalized artwork featuring dressed-up animals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adorable Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberrys-holiday-campaign.md) - [Canadian Animal-Themed Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/our-animals-maple-syrup-jar.md) - [Blazer-Adorned Bear Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blazeradorned-bear-figure.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Creature-Inspired Home Good Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffreys-loverboy.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Animal-Shaped Luxury Beanbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-collection.md) - [Unique Hybrid Mystery Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-x-vegetable-gachapon.md)
