These pop culture Popsicles take very recognizable characters and make them into delicious, angular treats. While the Popsicles aren't real, they do make for very interesting and colorful pieces of modern pop culture art.
Making projects out of famous characters is fun because those who partake in the fandom can relate. Something as simple as turning the Joker or Walter White into an ultra-vibrant painting injects some fun into pop culture. The paintings will be made into physical prints and sold at the 2014 Lexington Comic and Toy Con.
The prints mimic a Warholian style in their simplicity and color choices but use quite different subject matter. The crossover appeal of the pop culture Popsicle prints is obvious -- who wouldn't want to take a literal bite out of crime in the form of Walter White's head?
