DeviantARTist Mickey-LBG has created a series of posters that mimic the classic Apple silhouette advertisements. There is an old saying that if you can think of something, its been Simpsonized.
To keep the theme of the Simpsons, the backgrounds of these posters are yellow. The figures are all painted in all black, and the only thing that stand out is the product itself: the iPod. What would make these figures even better is if they were brought to life in a Simpsons and Apple dancing silhouette commercial.
Combining pop culture figures with famous brand names is becoming more popular among artists. People are drawn to this kind of mash-up art because they like being able to recognize what the two combined elements are.
