Victorian Portraits Turned into Super Heroes Trading Cards

LA-based artist Alex Gross takes photographic images of antique Cabinet cards and then repaints them into portraits of pop culture personalities like Aquaman, Bride of Frankenstein and Godzilla. His work will be exhibited at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York City next month, so if you’re in town, stop by and support a great geek artist.

Classic Black and White Photos Colourised

Swedish artist Sanna Dullaway works on colourization of old black and white photos. Dullaway's color restoration project breathes new life into these aged, colorless images. Though many of them are wonderful, in their own right, there's something new and fresh about the photographs after the artist has reworked the coloring in Photoshop.
