The gun-wielding, mask-wearing, katana-flinging antihero is immortalized in one fan's incredibly impressive bullet mosaic. Do you have a couple of hundred empty bullet casings and shotgun shells just lying around the house looking for a purpose? If so, than you can follow in the pioneering footsteps of Mike Oncley, who used 200 shotgun shells and 250 brass casings to make the image. The Deadpool portrait was made for MINTcondition, a Seattle based comic book art exhibit that runs through the month of March. After the display, Oncley will be selling the signed Deadpool portrait mosaic through the Ltd. Art Gallery online. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bullet Mosaics:** Creating artwork using bullet and shotgun casings as a medium. - **Comic Book Art:** Using popular comic book characters as inspiration for unique and eye-catching art. - **Upcycling:** Transforming discarded items into new and valuable creations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Opportunities for artists and designers to experiment with unconventional materials and techniques. - **Entertainment and Events:** Incorporating unique art installations into exhibitions, conventions, and other events. - **E-commerce:** Building online platforms for artists to sell their unconventional artwork to a global audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Americana Subculture-Themed Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bullet-proof.md) - [Superhero-Themed DIY Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-lee-batman.md) - [Collectible Cosplay Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-ketchup-and-mustard.md) - [Comic Book Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-heros.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deadpool-and-wolverine-1.md) - [Anithero Collectible Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cnc-and-heineken-collectibles.md) - [Antihero-Inspired Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviation-american-gin.md) - [Buildable 3D Superhero Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotham-city-skyline-set.md) - [Superhero-Themed Hospital Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sickkids-foundation-ad.md)
