# Clothing Company Caricatures Jonny Wan Creates Unique Portraits That Combine a Variety of Styles By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-03-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jonny-wan References: [bumbumbum.me](http://bumbumbum.me/2011/03/07/jonny-wan-illustrator/) & [jonnywan](http://www.jonnywan.com/) Illustrator Jonny Wan has created a series of drawn portraits that feature characters he has created himself. These tribal-looking portraits combine inspiration from ancient cultures and Victorian aesthetics all put together in a brilliantly colored package. In his illustrated series, Jonny Wan places emphasis on clothing companies [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shmoofoil), [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feng-chen-wang-2) and [American Eagle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-for-the-trees), as he features his creative characters sporting the branded clothing. The characters sporting Adidas seem to be put together in an ad, as they are accompanied with the slogan "Celebrate Originality." These portraits by Jonny Wan are as original as it gets. The characters are beyond awesome and the intricate designs Jonny Wan creates are unrivaled. It has yet to be released if these are ads for the famous clothing companies, although they would definitely grab the attention of anyone passing by them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unique Portraits:** Illustrators can combine various styles to create novel portraits that can appeal to different brands and clients. - **Branded Advertisements:** Using branded clothing in illustrated series can be a creative and effective way to advertise a clothing company. - **Tribal and Victorian Aesthetics:** Incorporating these two seemingly different aesthetics in illustrations can produce visually striking and captivating outputs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Illustration and Design:** Innovative illustrators can create unique portraits that can be used by various industries, such as fashion, cosmetics, and advertising. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Clothing companies can collaborate with artists to create visually compelling and fresh advertisements that can appeal to their target market. - **Fine Arts and Graphic Design:** Students and professionals in these fields can take inspiration from Jonny Wan's works and experiment with combining different styles and cultures in their own projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic Apparel Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-kenshi-yonezu.md) - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Travel-Inspired Canvas Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-passport-series.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Playful Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel.md) - [Wearable Art Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march-1.md) - [Graffiti Artist-Collab Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ja-one-xtc.md) - [Artist-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-x-basquiat.md) - [Playful Character-Adorned Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shmoofoil.md)
