# Comically Crude Pop Art Gregoire Guillemin Shows Famous Characters Behaving Badly By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-04-24 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crude-pop-art References: [vectroave](http://vectroave.com/2013/04/pop-art-by-gregoire-guillemin/2/) French artist Gregoire Guillemin takes some of pop culture’s most famous characters, and humanizes them in his [pop art collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery). The viewer gets to see these super heroes and [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-and-disney) characters in a racier, more exciting light! One of these awesome photos portrays Snow White smoking a cigarette. Some of these shots are milder in content, depicting these animated characters brushing their teeth or eating. These shocking cartoon-like pictures also include drinking, drugs, junk food and same-sex relationships. Essentially, Guillemin is portraying these famous characters in a less heroic light. He shows Snow White, Superman, and Cat Woman behaving the way an average person does. This colorful series is full of forbidden fun! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Humanizing Pop Culture Characters:** The trend of humanizing well-known pop culture characters presents opportunities for artists and designers to create provocative and relatable artwork. - **Shocking Cartoon-like Imagery:** The trend of using unconventional and controversial imagery in pop art allows artists to push boundaries and challenge societal norms. - **Depicting Unconventional Behaviors:** The trend of showcasing famous characters engaging in unconventional behaviors opens up opportunities for exploring new narratives and perspectives in popular culture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Art:** The fine art industry can explore the trend of humanizing pop culture characters to create thought-provoking and visually striking artwork. - **Graphic Design:** In the field of graphic design, the trend of shocking cartoon-like imagery can be harnessed to create eye-catching and memorable visual designs. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can tap into the trend of depicting unconventional behaviors to create edgy and engaging content that resonates with audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Pop Art Skateboard Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-skateroom-1.md) - [Reimagined Beloved Character Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-and-disney.md) - [Pop Art Legend-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1.md) - [Artful Collectible Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva.md) - [Collectible Character Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arr-x-kaws-sesame-street.md) - [Deconstructed Pop Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matt-gondek.md) - [Playful Modern Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-estabrook-debuts-storytime.md)
