Superhero Album Art

[nezchan]

I don't know how many of you have seen this but it's absolutely brilliant. Artist Cliff Chiang has taken a couple of iconic album covers from the 80's and re-purposed them in superhero style. I can't decide which I love the most, honestly.

And for legality, Fantasio in pink underwear, cussing out a rock.

I LOVE this one! :)

[nezchan]

Oh, yeah. I should have linked that too, but I was blown away at the other entry and forgot.

Funny you should love the one with Robin in it, heh.

I've never claimed to be deep! :)

If you compare the original with this take, some of the assignments are a little eccentric. (Warning, TVTropes link)

Robin - The kook
Speedy - The criminal
Aqualad - The Brain
Kid Flash - The Jock
Wonder Girl - The Princess.

I dunno, Robin of that period probably would have fit pretty decently. Speedy, definitely, and same with Donna. Dunno about the others, though.

[seriousfic]

Yeah, Robin would've fit better as the brain, and being the leader/center of the art seems like better composition.

I heart Cliff Chiang.

[nezchan]

With good reason, it seems. First I'd heard of him.

Wish his site had an RSS feed, though.

Does it not show up? This is what I use:

Sweet, thank you! I couldn't find it anywhere.

Sweet! I hope these four are just the beginning.

This is the first time I looked at the Titans and thought "wow, is Garth pretty." XD

There's a lot of good stuff on his site, and his work is great for icons:

Personally, I'm in love with that Gatchaman image, it's so great. I've just started watching the original Yamato stuff, so the whole retro anime thing has my attention.

He was nice enough to do a lovely Tomorrow Woman con sketch for me. :D

[blake_reitz]

That's very cool.

Those are neat!
