# Sentimental Superdad Portraits Giulia Pex Transforms her Dad into Her Favorite Superheroes By | Published 2013-06-04 | Updated 2013-06-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superdad References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/artist-turns-her-dad-into-a-superhero-by-adding-imaginative-drawings-to-photos/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/dad-you-are-my-favourite-superhero/9101573) Illustrator Giulia Pex has transformed her father from a regular family man into a bonafide "Superdad." By adding some comic book-esque illustrations to regular photos of her dad, Pex was able to turn him into Batman, Superman and even Dr. Octopus. This photo series is an adorable way to appreciate the guy who always been there for you, especially with Father's Day coming up so soon. While dads aren't always appreciated for their simple chores, such as mowing the lawn or running errands, these cute photographs make sure that busy dads know their hard work means something to the ones they love. Pex cleverly manages to merge comic book graphics with authentic photographs in a unique medium that combines both photography and illustration. The "Superdad" photo series is adorably sentimental and will definitely put a smile on your old man's face. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sentimental Illustration:** Combining illustrations and photography to create sentimental and unique art pieces. - **Personalized Gifts:** Creating customized and meaningful presents for loved ones to celebrate special occasions such as Father's Day. - **Nostalgic Reminiscing:** Revisiting childhood memories and showcasing gratitude for parental figures through creative mediums. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Incorporating personalized illustrations to traditional photography services for special events such as weddings and graduations. - **Graphic Design:** Creating customized designs for personalized products and gifts for special occasions like Father's Day. - **Event Planning:** Incorporating unique personalized artwork into event decor to elevate sentimental value, particularly at family events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized Comic Book Creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamcanvas.md) - [Pizza-Branded Dad Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/za-for-pa-fathers-day-gift-shop.md) - [Custom Coloring Page Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dad-cant-draw.md) - [Custom Rap Songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paparap.md) - [Memory-Making AR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rokid-fathers-day.md) - [Fathers Day Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/care-makes-a-dad.md) - [Custom Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom.md) - [Commemorative Fatherhood Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fatherhood.md) - [Cartoonish Parental Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swatch-x-the-simpsons-watches.md)
