]]> Talented Italian illustrator Alessandro Pautasso has an intriguing take on pop culture art. Pautasso, who mainly works in digital art and mixed media, creates illustrations that show pop culture characters as abstract figures.

Pautasso’s artwork is characterized by the inclusion of various geometric shapes that form the subject while using numerous bright and pop colors. This results in astonishing pieces of art that have quickly captured the attention of internet users and brought Pautasso a big social media following.

“You know, I am simply a nostalgic fan of the ’80-’90s which is why I often draw about pop culture on my personal projects.” – Pautasso told Fubiz in a recent chat. “With my artwork, I just take a break from my daily working reality in an advertising agency. “

]]> If you are looking for your daily dose of pop culture art, then you came to the right place. This time around, we want to share with you some amazing portraits made by talented Russian illustrator Viktor Miller-Gausa.

Miller-Gausa, who is also a designer and art director, started drawing portraits as a bet. His friends told him he can’t draw caricatures, so he decided to prove them wrong and spend an entire month doing just that. This talented artist, who is based in Saint-Petersburg, then transitioned to making portraits of famous movie and comic characters as well as drawings of actors and singers.

So far he has done portraits of Arthur Fleck from Joker, Billie Eilish, Kurt Cobain, Jim Carrey and many more. Miller-Gausa often changes his style depending on the subject, doing both colorful and black and white artworks.

Check out some of his impressive portraits below.

Периодически пересматриваю это кино. Отличный актерский состав, смысл не новый конечно, но забавная картина становления американской нации от крутого Мартина Скорсезе. И конечно же, самый запоминающейся стала роль злодея (Bill “the butcher” Cutting) и крутой Дэниэл Дэй-Льюис ⭐. Никогда не сопереживал ДиКаприо в этом фильме (меня всегда бесило то, что она назвался Амстердам)) прям совсем. Так, а какой злодей запомнился больше всего вам? Вот прям за кого болели? . . . #illustrator#topcreator#drawing#artist#portrait#draw#painting#danieldaylewis#gangs#butcher#martinscorsese#legend#usa#colors#monster#tragedy#watercolor#cg#photoshop#gorgeous#warrior#digitalart#moustache#history#character#mood#inspiration

Aprill Fool’s Day. Когда, если не сегодня? Джим Керри. 57 лет ему, на минуточку. Все же, самых любимых фильма с его участием, у меня 3 («Вечное сияние чистого разума», «23» и «Я, снова Я и Ирен»), но дело не в фильмах, хотя можете тоже парочку назвать, а в вопросе: предположим, сегодня твой последний день на земле (потом армагеддон, земля становится фрикаделькой или еще что-нибудь) как проведешь? Что сделаешь? (Разумеется уместны самые любые варианты не привязанные к законам физики и логики) 😬 жду крутых вариантов и историй 💙 . . . #jimcarrey#humor#illustration#allfoolsday#portrait#drawing#23#actor#characters#beard#silver#art#gorgeous#legend#colors#realism#ny#shine#joelbarish#lastday#sketch#artist#cg#adobe#creator#topart#mood#inspiration

Не ожидал такого отклика на сторис 🙈решил сделать пост. В 2001 году на экраны вышла первая часть истории о Гарри Поттере и с первых кадров Северус Снейп один из самых запоминающихся персонажей. Очень ярко и неистово Алан Рикман сыграл этого персонажа 💙 да и Дамблдора так жалко не не было, как Северуса 😔 И вот вопрос, какой факультет выбрали бы, будь распределительнаяшляпа у вас на голове? Ответ с Чебоксарами уже не актуален. Гриффиндор, Пуффендуй, Когтевран или Слизерин???

“Joker” 2019. Это было настолько ошеломительно громко, искренне и так гениально просто, что после сеанса еще пару дней есть о чем подумать, перечитать и пересмотреть прежде всего в себе. Совершенно новая история, история которая не пугает, а старается предупредить, рассказать и поделиться чувствами. От красоты кадра, до глубины мысли. Пожалуй, один из моих любимых фильмов. 💙💙💙 искренне не понимаю, как и зачем сравнивать Хоакина и Леджера, от слова «совсем». Ходили? Смотрели?

И все же, спорт это искусство. Баскетбол — один из немногих командных видов спорта, который мне нравится. Но! Меня немного удивляет, когда звезды спорта вдруг идут в кино (есть очень крутой ролик с Гарри Олдменом на этот счет) и их называют актерами. Вот например рестлер Скала 🌚 вдруг актер (хотя очень сложно его считать таковым) и меня это немного смешит. А вот монетизация своего имени это вполне нормальная и логичная история. «Космический Джем» с Джорданом не считается, потому что это исключительно имиджевая история. Чего думаете об этом? Есть примеры когда спортсмен вдруг очень круто сыграл в каком-нибудь фильме? Может я чего не знаю. . . . #michaeljordan#chicagobulls#drawing#portrait#basketball#legend#usa#art#painting#god#icon#game#character#jordan#topcreator#burn#man#strong#photoshop#artist#mood#inspiration

]]> Freelance 3-D artist Yan Blanco lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil, where he created these grotesque renderings of pop culture characters. His Sponge Bob, Santa Clause, and Bugs Bunny have definitely seen some horrible things in their lives. 

Blanco told 3DTotal that he began experimenting with such characters when he discovered Blender, the 3D computer graphics software toolset. This was a perfect way for him to practice working in the new program while having fun exploring original ideas.

“I’ve been an illustrator since I was a child, and until adolescence, I wanted to work with digital illustration, but in 2014 at the College of Graphic Design I met Blender, and that changed my artistic life completely,” the artist said.

Since then, he found many ways to study 3-D online, exploring the available tutorials, websites, articles, videos, etc. Check out his work below.

]]> It is hard to imagine a future where pop culture isn’t appreciated, especially given its popularity in the present time. Still, Prague-based 3D artist Filip Hodas decided to make an effort and show us a scenario where pop culture icons are thrown away and forgotten.

Hodas makes amazing illustrations in which pop culture meets a dystopian future, but not in a good way. His works depict the likes of SpongeBob, Pac Man, and Mickey Mouse as monuments and objects that are neglected and left to rust and be consumed by time.

Check out Hodas’ impressive works below. You can purchase items with his designs on Society 6.
