The British artist collaborated with the series' creator Vince Gilligan to create the artwork, which will be included in an exclusive box-set that will be available next year. Steadman is no stranger to the world of [illegal drugs, crime and corruption](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kristofferson-san-pablo), having previously worked with Hunter S. Thompson on illustrations for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Steadman brings Walter White and his shady associates to life in this [stylish, colorful series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei). Fans will no doubt enjoy Steadman's evocative drawings. Breaking Bad has only been off the air for about a year now, but something tells me it's about time to rewatch all five seasons. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Limited-edition Blu-ray Artwork:** Opportunity for artists to collaborate with popular TV series creators to create exclusive artwork for limited-edition Blu-Ray collections. - **Artistic Collaboration with TV Series:** Artists can collaborate with TV series creators to create unique and visually appealing artwork for promotional or collector's items. - **Bringing Fictional Characters to Life:** Artists can use their skills to bring fictional characters from popular TV series to life through evocative illustrations. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore collaborations with artists to create exclusive artwork for limited-edition DVDs, Blu-Rays, or other collectibles. - **Art and Design:** Artists and illustrators can find opportunities to collaborate with TV series creators to create unique artwork for promotional or collector's items. - **Media and Television:** TV series creators and producers can leverage collaborations with artists to enhance the visual appeal and collectibility of their merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic Whiskey Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breckenridge-px-naranja-cask-finish-whiskey.md) - [Artist-Inspired Tequila Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dustin-yellin.md) - [Artist-Designed Collectible Dining Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killer-napkins.md) - [Artistic Rum Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artists-of-the-abyss.md) - [Artist-Designed Tequila Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essential-artist-series.md) - [Contemporary Statue Album Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip-season-4.md) - [Street Artist Tequila Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gustavo-zermeo-jr.md) - [Sci-Fi Show Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yusuke-hanai-1.md) - [Artist-Designed Wool Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eike-konig.md)
