Now that is a geeky mashup. These [pop art superhero tee shirt prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superman-collection) are made by UK artist Reece Ward. The artist says these iconic mixtures are all about embracing your inner geek. I would only go as far as buying the Obama print as a postcard. I guess Obama can pass as a superhero these days--as well as Santa Claus (after all, Christmas is near), but what a brilliant image. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Superhero Mashup Fashion:** The rise of pop art superhero mashup fashion inspired by iconic characters creates opportunities for new clothing lines and licensing agreements. - **Geeky Iconic Prints:** The trend of geeky iconic prints could inspire new visual merchandise and promotional products for popular franchises. - **Nostalgic Pop Culture Printing:** Nostalgic pop culture printing is a growing trend that invites licensing collaborations with artists, brands, and franchises to create new and unique products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry could benefit from incorporating iconic superhero mashup prints and designs in their clothing lines to attract geek culture consumers. - **Visual Merchandising Industry:** The visual merchandising industry can leverage the popularity of pop art and iconic print mashups to create innovative promotional products for events and franchises. - **Licensing Industry:** The licensing industry can capitalize on the trend of nostalgic pop culture printing by collaborating with artists, brands, and franchises to create unique and appealing merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Villain-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-tee.md) - [Bold Anime-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing.md) - [Dark Superhero Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection.md) - [Comic Collab Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-x-marvel.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Festive Sweater Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fandomspecific-sweater-vests.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Streetwear Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superman-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md)
