We've seen these before, but there are a ton new portraits.

Artist, Steve Payne's statement from his blog replaceface.tumblr.com: 

"George Dawe was an English portrait artist who painted 329 portraits of Russian generals active during Napoleon's invasion of Russia for the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia. I'm using digital copies of these paintings as a basis for my own work which involves incorporating celebrities into the paintings using photoshop."

The Hater Box — Artwork by Parse/Error

Ryan Nance February 21, 2018

Parse Error uses the old analog flip display to generate 45 different phrases in his project The Hater Box

By mixing many concepts, from the most serious to the lightest, The Hater Box triggers an avalanche of thoughts in the observer, chaining laugh, anger, indignation or assertion of his own ideas, leaving little room for a real reflection on the meaning of these words or on his own opinion.

Post-Punk Superheros by Billy Butcher

Ryan Nance March 20, 2015

There is something so pitch-perfect about this work from mashup artist Butcher Billy that elevates it. Certainly its style and wit help quite a bit, but even more than that, there is some thing about identity and fame here. Just great.

Visit Billy’s Behance for more work.
