We all sometimes imagine our favorite cartoon characters in different situations. Still, some of us do more than imagining – they create new situations and worlds for them.

Katherine Kuehne is a children’s book illustrator from San Antonio, Texas. Her work is centered around creating wonderful illustrations for children’s books, but to the online community, she is known as michA-sAmA, an artist who creates the most imaginative recreations.

She goes one step beyond the traditional and places famous cartoon characters in completely unexpected situations. Reimagining cartoon characters as pin-up girls is one of her most talked-about series. We have compiled a list of 15 of her best illustrations, and we hope you will enjoy them.

When asked to tell us more about herself, Katherine said:

“I’m a graduate from Texas State University with a BFA in Communication Design, and I’m also currently working on my K-12 teaching certification in Art. By day I work for an educational software company making illustrations and graphics, and by night I make everything you see here! A few of my favorite things include mermaids, manatees, Moomins, and all things magical!”
