With references to Mad Men, Wonder Woman, The White Stripes and [Brazilian Soccer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccerthemed-illustrations), Stanley Chow's work makes it easy to foresee the timelessness behind it. Though his work is based on pop culture, Stanley Chow is careful with his choices.
