This is perfection to me. You can see all of this guy’s artwork here. He gets it. I don’t know how else to say it. I first saw one of these years ago titled “No One Wants To Play Sega with Harrison Ford.” It cracked me up then and it was still awesome when I saw him featured in Newsweek recently. I hope this guy makes a mint. Pop art is a tricky game, but he’s a master.
Here is what he says about it:
“Remember these weird plastic Halloween costumes? When I was a kid, I had a Transformers one, and it just had a picture from the show on the chest. It’s like, ‘Hi, I’m Transformer Metroplex, and you can see that because I’m wearing a picture of him,’ ” Bird says, laughing. “With Philip Seymour Hoffman, it’s kind of hard, because a lot of his characters should just never, ever come close to kids. Like, a Love Liza costume? Magnolia is weird, but not that bad.”
