Ryan Casey is a talented illustrator who’s brainchild, 'But You’re Like Really Pretty,' is one part impressive art and one part Perez Hilton.
Using current celebrity tabloids as inspiration, Casey posts amazingly realistic illustrations of stars every week. Remarkably well drawn, the fast-growing site has a bit of an edge (to say the least). He draws the Olsen twins as trolls and Jessica Simpson in a very unflattering light.
The site, which previously posted only one illustration a week, has thankfully increased the frequency of addicting posts. Look out for this upcoming and deliciously provocative talent.
