Jason Freeny is an artist who creates miniature sculptures that imagine the internal anatomy of popular toys and characters. He depicts toys like Mr. Potato Head and Hello Kitty as if they were living creatures on the inside. Freeny is inspired by video games, TV commercials, cartoons, children's books, and movies, and his works give viewers insight into the imagined internal structures of familiar figures in a way that is like watching a medical dissection.
