Unnatural History

Artist Chet Phillips (previously at Neatorama) has created a series of illustrations that portray fictional creatures from pop culture as vintage scientific field studies. Click to the right on the picture above to see more of the collection he calls Unnatural History. It's as if a science artist wanted to show us accurate flying monkeys, xenomorphs, or gremlins in the days before photography (or CGI, for that matter)! Prints of these are available at Etsy, in case you see your favorite fictional character. -via Laughing Squid
