And we live in a world of selfies — lots and lots of selfies. Artist Simona Bonafini created a series titled “[Selfie Fables](https://www.behance.net/gallery/15452613/Selfie-Fables-what-if-disney-stories-have-instagram)” that imagines what your Instagram feed would look like if it were habituated by your favorite cartoon characters.
