Memeskins has created a hilarious Nicolas Cage iPhone case, in which the actor's face is superimposed onto Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
The iPhone case is a continuation of 'Nic Cage as Everyone,' a single topic blog which, since its launch in 2009, has been dedicated to photoshopping the actor's face into any and every photograph possible. Though it's been five years, the meme continues to be absolutely hilarious (not to mention profitable).
The blog was created as a form of fan-art intended to honor the American actor and his impressive body of work. It was established on the "belief that everything in life would be better with a little more Nic Cage." Whether or not this is true, the Nicolas Cage iPhone case is unarguably comical.
