# Multi-Character Mashups MrWhaite Illustrates Actors with Their Iconic Roles By Carly Foy | Published 2011-06-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrwhaite References: [redbubble](http://www.redbubble.com/people/mrwhaite) & [mrwhaite.tumblr](http://mrwhaite.tumblr.com/) British graphic artist MrWhaite has managed to create the perfect blend of an actor and his iconic roles through his mashups. MrWhaite's illustrations have started to spin into an awesome series. Starting with Johnny Depp, MrWhaite has taken [iconic wardrobe pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-tee) from Depp's flicks such as Alice In Wonderland, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and Rango to incorporate into his works. This is just one amazing example of MrWhaite's talent. My favorite is tied between MrWhaite's Will Ferrel and Robert Downey Jr. works, as the flawless execution of the two pieces is truly breathtaking. MrWhaite has also done tributes to the late Jim Henson (the Muppets creator) as well as a [birthday tribute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1) to Frank Oz. MrWhaite's illustrations are available for purchase on [t-shirts, prints and stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 62% | 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Character Mashups:** Creating illustrations that combine actors with their iconic roles is a trend that allows for unique and visually captivating artwork. - **Tribute Illustrations:** Paying homage to famous individuals, such as Jim Henson and Frank Oz, through artistic illustrations is a trend that celebrates their contributions. - **Art Merchandise:** Offering MrWhaite's illustrations for sale on various products like t-shirts, prints, and stickers is a trend that capitalizes on the demand for unique artwork and fan merchandise. ### Who This Affects Most - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry can incorporate the trend of character mashups to create visually stunning and engaging artwork for various purposes. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can leverage tribute illustrations to engage fans and honor influential figures in film, television, and other creative fields. - **E-commerce:** The e-commerce industry can tap into the trend of art merchandise, offering consumers a wide range of unique and collectible products featuring original illustrations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [Sci-Fi Show Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yusuke-hanai-1.md) - [Playwright Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-william-shakespeare.md) - [Cult Movies-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/film-club-collection.md) - [AI-Generated Christmas Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-posters.md) - [Collectible Cosplay Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-ketchup-and-mustard.md) - [Actor-Honoring Blockchain Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-late-robin-williams.md) - [Villain-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx.md) - [Limited Humorous Art Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-shrigley-1.md)
