Whether it be an awful landscape or a classic in need of a little modern kick, Jon Hansen’s got the solution with his Cross Cultural Contamination project. Hansen picks up terrible Thomas Kinkade rip-offs and other paintings seemingly made for cheap hotel rooms and spices them up with Navy Seals, Street Fighter, Godzilla and other pieces of pop culture.
A few of the paintings are still available to buy if you’ve got the money and the sense of irony. The above pictured “Godzilla vs. Asian Longhorned Beetle” is available for $150 framed.
The first one is the best. Now, if he’d add that meme little running girl to one, that’d be pretty awesome.
