When I first caught a glimpse of these bleeding cool pop culture portraits by Chilean artist Fabian Ciraolo, my eyes nearly melted in their sockets. It’s like he’s managed to tap into my stream of consciousness–where there exists a nebulous mashup of music, pop culture icons, Saturday morning cartoons, horror, and cult films–and illustrate it.
I mean, Julie Andrews in leopard-print leggings wearing a Joy Division t-shirt as she gives us an almost-flash of her tits? Skeletor in a 70s-looking used car salesman plaid suit? COME ON. I love these. I love everything about them; the overexposed pastels, the dreamy patterned backgrounds, the fact that they could have been lifted from one of my everyday 80s music-fueled hallucinations…
There’s plenty more to see on Fab Ciraolo’s blog, which you’ll probably need to translate. I would also follow him on Twitter–if I could understand anything the man tweets.
