# Retroriental Comic Posters Tommy Kane Reminisces on Old Asia with these Amazing Artworks By Matt Ho | Published 2011-02-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tommy-kane References: [emptykingdom](http://www.emptykingdom.com/main/featured/tommy-kane/) & [tommykane](http://tommykane.com/) There are a lot of retro-inspired posters, but Tommy Kane's work is one of the few that has an Asian flair to it. Taking [old-school pop cultural icons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon) such as [The Beatles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candlelight) and the Adam West Batman, Tommy Kane creates unique posters with a collage-like aesthetic. What I love most are their resemblance to 1950s style poster ads from [Hong Kong](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hong-kongmorning); Kane has even incorporated Chinese seals at the bottom of his work. Tommy Kane's vibrant vintage pieces are a must-see for everyone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 92% | 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) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro-inspired Posters:** Opportunity for artists to create unique and nostalgic art with a modern twist. - **Asian Flair in Art:** Exploring different cultural influences in artistic creations for a fresh and unique perspective. - **Collage Aesthetic:** Using mixed media and collage techniques to create visually striking and dynamic artwork. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Artists can tap into the trend of retro and Asian-inspired artwork to create marketable pieces. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Brands can incorporate the collage aesthetic and retro-inspired visuals in their advertising campaigns to attract nostalgic consumers. - **Tourism and Travel:** Travel agencies and tourist destinations can use Asian-inspired art and retro imagery to promote unique experiences and attract tourists. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [Retro Space-Themed Puzzled Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-carter.md) - [Pop Art Legend-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1.md) - [Heritage-Honoring Artful Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archival-poster-collection.md) - [Bi-Culture-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicultureinspired-art-exhibition.md) - [Retro Japanese-Inspired Cafe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcard-bakery.md) - [Airport-Based Retro Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twilight-of-the-warriors-walled-in.md) - [AI-Generated Christmas Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-posters.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Eclipse Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-eclipse-poster.md)
