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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alterego-the-official-comic), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2) with hints of pop-culture references that are hidden amongst his work. The artist mimics [Coca-Cola's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller) 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.
