Matt Cowan never ceases to amaze me with his wonderfully creative pop culture-inspired artistry. In this particular series, Cowan has remixed the title cards of AMC’s hit series ‘Mad Men’ using a myriad of other famous characters. Memorable faces from Mr. Men, Alice in Wonderland, X-Men and Mad Max have all been given the silhouette treatment and the results are so refined that they may as well be used in the show itself.
For those unfamiliar with Matt Cowan, he’s an illustrator based in Italy whose portfolio is as eclectic as one can hope for. Not only does he churn out quality pieces regularly, but he does so with such frequency that you have to wonder how he comes up with so many amazing ideas.
