# Rockstar Superhero Illustrations Andrés Moncayo's Superhero Drawings Have a Punk Rock Finesse By Megan Facciuolo | Published 2014-05-02 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superhero-drawings References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/365331/If-Our-Favorite-Superheroes-Were-Rock-Stars/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/moncayoandres) Superhero drawings are a popular pass time among many artists, but illustrator Andrés Moncayo is adding more of a rockstar twist to his superhero works. The New York-based artist likes to imagine superheroes as rock musicians. Batman is now suitable to be the next member of [KISS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aged-rum), Superman looks like a member of the Foo Fighters and Wonder Woman could easily replace Amy Lee of Evanescence. Moncayo even studied how bands normally pose in photographs and illustrated each superhero in a similar, nonchalant matter. All of the superheroes' color palettes are still intact, but their uniforms have been swapped out for edgy outfits. For example, [Superman is wearing a red T-shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superman-collection) that is teared to form the letter 'S' instead of his usual spandex getup. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Punk Rock Superheroes:** There is a trend towards presenting iconic comic book heroes as edgy, punk rock musicians. - **Alternative Superhero Uniforms:** There is a trend towards creating alternative fashion designs for traditional superhero uniforms. - **Musical Superhero Parodies:** There is a trend towards re-imagining superheroes as members of musical bands with parody posters and illustrations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to create new TV shows, movies, and multimedia content featuring punk rock superhero characters and storylines. - **Fashion:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to create a new line of alternative fashion designs for modern superhero costumes. - **Art:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to develop new art exhibits and merchandise featuring punk rock superhero illustrations and prints. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Superhero-Themed DIY Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-lee-batman.md) - [Comic-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-heroes.md) - [AI-Generated Motorbike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldstar-art.md) - [Classic Superhero-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-hungry-for-heroes.md) - [Iconic Band Apparel Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2.md) - [Comic Book Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-heros.md) - [Dark Superhero Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection.md) - [Film-Inspired Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection.md) - [Comic-Themed RPG Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jam-city.md)
