Iconic Western Fairytales Get An Eastern Makeover By Korean Artist

What would some of our favorite Disney fairytales and Western stories look like if they had been conceived in Eastern Asia? Korean illustrator Na Young Wu has an idea – her illustrations feature Disney characters new and old reinterpreted through the prism of modern Korean cartoon illustration, also known as “manhwa.”


Wu, who also goes by “Obsidian,” is quite a prolific illustrator, so be sure to check out her blog and Twitter if you like what you see!
