# Superimposed Monster Art Marty Cooper's Art Inserts Monsters & Critters into Everyday Environments By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-03-17 | Social Media Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marty-cooper References: [sploid.gizmodo](http://sploid.gizmodo.com/artist-inserts-his-hilarious-monster-drawings-into-real-1543628379/@caseychan) & [instagram](http://instagram.com/hombre_mcsteez) Artist Marty Cooper has come up with a truly ingenious way of transforming photographs of mundane everyday scenes into hilarious and creative works of art. His funny and imaginative art is on display on his [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world) account. Cooper works by identifying a boring everyday scene that he wants to manipulate. He then takes a transparent sheet and, using white ink, draws an image of a [small monster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashers-horror-house) or otherwise cute or creepy critter. By placing the transparent sheet in front of a random object, Cooper creates the [hilarious illusion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) that his critter creation is superimposed onto the environment. One of his creative manipulations involves a drawing of a frog-like creature sticking its tongue out, as frogs do while catching insects. The image was held up on what seems to be a bridge overlooking the highway, to make it look like a frog-like monster was eating cars on the highway. Another highlight is what can only be described as a blob-like monster guzzling gas from a gas station. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialmedia) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Superimposed Monster Art:** Using transparent sheets and white ink, artists can modify everyday scenes to include monsters and other creatures in a creative and humorous way. - **Augmented Reality Art:** Artists can use augmented reality technology to place digital artwork into physical environments to create interactive and immersive experiences. - **Mixed Media Art:** By combining traditional art forms with digital manipulation, artists can create unique and innovative works that bridge the gap between physical and digital art. ### Where This Applies - **Advertising and Marketing:** Brands can utilize superimposed monster art to create eye-catching and shareable ads that stand out in a crowded marketplace. - **Entertainment:** Film and television studios can use augmented reality art to promote upcoming movies and TV shows by creating immersive experiences for fans. - **Fine Arts:** Art galleries and museums can showcase mixed media art exhibits that push the boundaries of traditional art forms and challenge viewers' perceptions of what art can be. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Collaborative Image Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-monster.md) - [Gas Rig Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/striking-art-installation.md) - [Adorable Monster-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-monsters.md) - [Playful Doodle-Emblazoned Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-cox.md) - [Character Art-Infused Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moynat-x-kasing.md) - [Monster Drawing Party Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsdrawsity-unusual-suspects.md) - [Augmented Reality Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moli-fernyx.md)
