Street artist Tristan Eaton has created his latest mural in the heart of New York's city streets. Inspired by his love for comic books, the artist has created a collaged depiction of a woman who resembles iconic screen siren Audrey Hepburn.
While the base of the Hepburn clone's face is shaded using a series of monochromatic grey tones, her hair and features are accented with vibrant color hues, geometrically shaped patterns and typographical accents.
Tristan Eaton teases his urban audience with hints of pop-culture references that are hidden amongst his work. The artist mimics Coca-Cola's famous logo when choosing the font for his typographical details and creates a layered mash-up of cleverly collaged imagery that brightens the city's landscape.
