Talented graphic illustrator Emmanuel Viola recently reinterpreted the look of various popular Disney princess by turning them into rebellious punks. These illustrations subversively showcases the popular fairytale women in a edgier light.
Viola has a unique drawing style that cleverly combines cartoon drawings with the style of Anime. In this series, Viola re-imagines what various princesses like Ariel, Jasmine, Snow White, Belle and Cinderella would look like if they went and got a series of tattoos and piercings. The images are quite striking as they show off the young girls decked out in bright colors, racy clothes and heavy makeup. Perhaps if these Disney princesses lived in a later time period they would have replaced their ball gowns with bold ink decals and piercings.
