Welcome, cartoon fanatics. Do you ever come across prints of beautiful paintings when you're at the thrift shop and wonder, "Who is even buying these?" They're not real pieces of art, just copies, so they're usually not worth much. Most of the time, people just buy them for the frames and throw away the image inside. There are some people, though, that have more creative uses for those ubiquitous thrift store items that most shoppers overlook.

Have you ever wondered what Futurama's Bender would look like as a 50-foot robot, towering over trees like the Iron Giant? Have you ever imagined what a One Piece-themed 16th century still life would look like? No? Well, Tyler Turnbull has certainly pondered these things, and he has the artistic talent to bring his cartoonish musings to life. This creative artist gives new life to those old thrift store prints by painting your favorite, nostalgic cartoons onto them in wholesome and hilarious scenes. Scroll down for a glimpse at his artwork.
