It’s been a long while since most people have seen the vehicles in these Josh Ln illustrations, but in addition to their awesome designs, viewers will no doubt feel a euphoric sense of nostalgia while looking at these images. The Batmobile, the Millennium Falcon, the Delorean, the Turtle Van and the Ecto-1 were all staples of ‘90s kids’ entertainment, so to see them make a return in the 2010s is a much welcomed sight.
What differs Josh Ln’s images from most other artists’ work is that Ln forms his subjects using mosaics. Jagged polygonal shapes are grouped together like a jigsaw puzzle in order to define an object, and the results are surprisingly faithful to their source material.
Josh Ln’s Society6 page also features a myriad of other impressive wall adornments, similar in quality to these polygonal pop culture posters.
