Look! Anatomy of a Lego Man

101508_sz_lego.jpg File this under lurve! We've gotten into anatomy posters ever since we saw the amazing posters in Jeff and Jennifer's Chicago house tour. They have a great human skeleton poster that's been split up into three frames in their home office. Since then we've been intrigued by the whole anatomy as décor, and after yesterday's Lego Final Frame, we thought, what better way to mesh our two favorite things than to make an anatomy poster of the Lego man. More on the poster and the man behind it after the jump...

101508_sz_gummianatomy.jpg Designed by Jason Freeny, the poster cheekily looks at the "innards" of our favorite figure. Jason, who studied at Pratt and worked for MTV Networks, has made similar anatomical posters of gummi bears, balloon animals, and vinyl figures.

The prints come inked on 13-by-16 inch 100% cotton rag acid free Fine Art paper and cost $59. Yes, we bought one and yes, we're running out of space -- with, vintage gadget ads and self-made propaganda we're going to have to build another wall to hold all our nerd art. via Geekologie

I prefer Michael Paulus' work, which this seems to be a riff on.

I don't know if this is a riff on that work. Creating a skeleton for pop culture cartoon icons seems like something lots of people would choose to do. For example, here's the Mickey Rat I saw at the Santa Fe Skeleton Gallery:

I need to have the Dunny skeleton. That's awesome.
