Jason Seiler is a talented caricaturist and cartoonist who hits the nail on the head when it comes to distorting [celebrity facial features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-swapper) in his '[Portratis' series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom).

Between making John Krasinki's (Jim from 'The Office') nose a wee bit larger, to highlighting Leonardo DiCaprio's forehead, Jason Seiler makes these famous faces seem a bit more down-to-earth and, dare I say it, normal. Jason Seiler has artistic talent, especially when it comes to [visualizing celebrities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remind-ai1) and their faults.
