Dave Collinson is an illustrator based in Brisbane who's been working on a series of portraits depicting pop culture friends. Specifically, Dave's drawings focus in on dynamic duos, including some perfect pairings like Michael and Dwight from the American version of The Office, Walt and Jesse from Breaking Bad, plus Will and Carlton from Fresh Prince.
The pairings all have a simple, vibrantly colorful background and depict the best buds doing something fun together, whether that's dancing, eating Los Pollos chicken, bowling or collecting Dundie awards.
Dave has made a bunch of these epic pop culture pairings available as poster prints on Society6, which would make pretty good gifts to give to your own bestie.
