Disney Obsessed Artist Turns Beloved Disney Characters Into 'The Little Mermaid' Characters
When worlds collide.
Pedro Barrera may call himself an amateur artist, but his Disney-inspired illustrations tell a different story. His work has a way of grabbing Disney fans right away, especially when he reimagines familiar characters with a fresh, playful twist.
From princess mashups to romantic portraits, Barrera has built a gallery full of pieces that celebrate the magic of Disney. One of his most eye-catching ideas takes characters from across the Disney universe and turns them into mermaids inspired by The Little Mermaid, and the results are hard to ignore.
That series is the one that really stands out, and it is easy to see why people keep coming back for more.
