Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen is a 27 year-old guy – born and raised in Finland. He studied abroad in the UK (Arts University Bournemouth – graphic design graduate). He has been working as a graphic designer and art director within advertising, marketing and design since he graduated in 2012. He is currently freelancing, and also does a lot of illustration work on the side. His illustrations, featuring how some Disney characters would look like in real life, made him known worldwide.
Jirka Väätäinen talks about his inspiration for this project.
“The project actually started back in 2011 and I’ve been adding to the series ever since. One day I just randomly thought I’d challenge myself and have a little fun in Photoshop and explore what the character of Ursula from the Little Mermaid could look like in real life. Since I grew up with a lot of these characters, the sense of nostalgia made it such a fascinating and a fun personal project to explore. I have also always been interested in character design, as well as the way people look and what makes them unique in their appearances.
