Animals on the internet frequently forget how to be animals, taking up human activities like wearing clothes, playing the keyboard, and in the case of one baboon drawn by illustrator Amy Dover, smoking pipes Freud-style. Her creatures often find themselves in unlikely situations, including a bear riding a bicycle, a monkey smoking a hookah, and an amputee bunny rabbit wrapped in bandages with the phrase “not so lucky” written on them.

Dover, both an illustrator and fine artist who has shown in London, Los Angeles, Portland, Sweden, Switzerland, and more, draws in either graphite or high-end ink—guaranteed to last 200 years—on paper made from British cotton. Her Instagram account is filled with in-progress and final works, as well as the images that inspire her, including photographs of real animals, the works of illustrators including James Jean and Joan Cornellà, famous paintings like La Crucifixion Du Parlement De Paris by André d’Ypres, and most recently, Disney’s gritty reboot of The Jungle Book. Her website states that, “Evoking the folk tales, mythology, and fables of her childhood, Dover weaves tales of loss, failure, greed and deceit.”
