These stunning Victorian style Star Wars portraits really tickle my fancy.

How Proper!

Fabian Ciraolo

Sorry guys! It's been a looong while since I've posted, but I'm BACK and with some new (and newer) works from a great artist!

---
Chilean illustrator, Fabian Ciraolo, revamps notable pop culture icons into massive HIPSTERS! Leopard print, tattered jorts, Vampire Weekend, and thick-framed glasses are not amiss on Ciraolo's subjects. Their socially awkward facial expressions read like they truly are misunderstood by society. Can you say #hipsterproblems? I love the vintage feel of the background and the psychedelic nature each portrait conveys. And well Cleopatra's nip-slip ain't bad either.

Don't you get a feeling like they're judging you? Ugh! Even Jesus thinks you're too mainstream. (PS- I think this 'updated' Jesus picture is much creepier than the typical portrait you see hanging at your Grandma's house...just sayin') Needless to say. Ciraolo makes these historical figures pretty bad-ass.

Berk Ozturk

Ozturk has transformed familiar childhood characters into creatures that would haunt the creepiest of nightmares.

The illustrations initially strike a sense of nostalgia, but when eyeing the details of Ozturk's imagery, a blanket of gruesome feelings overcome, a sort of psychological unwholesomeness, if you will.
---Oh NO, Pikachu! What are you doing??

Aw, poor Mickey!

Sato

Birds in military uniforms--

Something we thought we'd never see-- but Japanese artist Sato depicts these flying fauna in uniform quite naturally. The costumed birds are from the collection titled Torigun. It's interesting to see how Sato found a way for the outfits to fit each bird so perfectly in way that personifies them to a position of authority... even down to the shoes.

Internet Art Caper

It is brought to my attention that art theft has taken place. The 'sketch' image was featured on the EatSleepDraw blog and soon detected by the original artists' friends. 

The images speak for themselves...

Not cool...

Feel free to 'terrorize' the impostor: EpicTerror on Tumblr

Thank you, Michael (My Brother!!) at EatMoreTruth Industries for the heads up!

Hopefully EatSleepDraw will be more careful next time!

The image has been removed from EatSleepDraw & epicterror has lost their submission rights to the blog.
