Artist Alex Solis Brilliantly Reveals the True Identity of Our Favorite Pop-Culture Icons

Every movie, TV show, and story we love has its archetypes—the heroic adventurer, the grumpy anti-hero, the Idiot dad. These characters are so familiar, so generic, yet they keep us coming back for more. Sometimes, all it takes is a creative genius like Alex Solis to show us the connections we never noticed, revealing what should have been obvious all along.

In his brilliant series, Solis imagines our favorite pop-culture icons unmasking themselves to reveal their hidden true identities. From Captain planet uncovering dr. Seuss's Lorax beneath his mask to Garfield posing as Grumpy Cat, each mash-up is a witty commentary on the repetitive nature of storytelling and character creation. Solis' art hilariously exposes the similarities between characters, making us laugh and think, "Why didn't I see that before?" These artworks will have you seeing your favorite characters in a new light and appreciating the artistry that connects them.
