Embarrassing Superhero Captures

Grégoire Guillemin Shows a More Realistic Side to Idolized Su

— January 16, 2013 — Art & Design
Grégoire Guillemin, already known for his superhero drawings, adds a new touch to the way heroes are perceived by displaying them in a 'normal' light with the 'Secret Life of Hereos.'

The colorful drawings portray closeups of some of the most beloved characters doing very mundane and every day tasks. Most of us may brush our teeth on a daily basis, but it is very rare to see Batman doing the same thing. Nor is it ordinary to watch Spiderman pick a booger out of his nose or see his feet under a toilet stall. Yet, Grégoire Guillemin depicts these characters in a much unheroic fashion and shows a more humorous aspect to the usually svelt and masculinely depicted men.
Trend Themes
1. Realistic Superhero Portrayal - Opportunity to disrupt the superhero genre by presenting a more relatable and humorous side to iconic characters.
2. Everyday Mundane Depictions - Opportunity to disrupt traditional art by showcasing the beauty and humor in ordinary tasks and activities.
3. Subverting Masculine Stereotypes - Opportunity to challenge the conventional image of masculinity by portraying male superheroes in unheroic and comical situations.
Industry Implications
1. Comic Books and Graphic Novels - Opportunity to redefine the superhero genre and attract a wider audience by presenting realistic and relatable characters.
2. Visual Art and Illustration - Opportunity to disrupt traditional art forms by creating provocative and humorous depictions of everyday life.
3. Gender Representation and Equality - Opportunity to challenge societal norms and promote gender equality by subverting traditional masculine stereotypes in popular media.
