Comic book and cartoon heroes might be put on pedestals for good reason, but this art series titled 'The Secret Life of Heroes' exposes some of their dirty little secrets. At least, secrets as surmised and envisioned by Gregoire Guillemin, the strategic planner and creation director at the French communications agency Infoflash. A continuing project, the iconic characters are also reinvisioned in an Andy Warhol-like pop art style.
Colorful and shocking, 'The Secret Life of Heroes' art series is certainly created with adults in mind. After all, children might not be able to handle seeing Alice contemplating which drug to take, Jasmine taking birth control and Cat Woman about to devour a tiny Minnie Mouse. There are also some more head-scratchers including Snow White trying to eat an Apple iPhone.
