ECHO PARK, LOS ANGELES -- Artist Alex Solis is trying to send a message to kids that eating unhealthy food can have serious consequences.

As a way to show kids what happens, and keep them entertained, he created "Famous Chunkies." The chunkies is a series of drawings that depict what cartoon, comic, video game and movie characters would actually look like if they ate only junk food.
