Iconic Banksy Art Gets Parodied with Famous Cartoon Characters
Banksy may have made a name for himself with his iconic street art, but Brazilian artist Butcher Billy is giving us a new take on the graffitist's work with some equally iconic characters. Using a cast of well-known cartoon characters as his subjectsincluding Bugs Bunny, Rosie the Robot, Tweety Bird, Fred Flintstone and Barney RubbleButcher Billy playfully recreates Banksy's politically-driven street art as whimsical renderings with a heavy dose of nostalgia.
This series, titled Butcher Billy Bullies Banksy , is part of the artist's adult coloring book by the same name. For the time being, it is viewable on Behance , but you can keep up to date with Butcher Billy's progress on Facebook .
