Anonymous artist Saint Hoax has a great sense of humor and a knack for mixing pop culture with politics, as seen in some of the artist's newest work, a movie poster art series 'Polliwood.'
Poliwood gives well-known movies a "POPlitical" twist and has figures like Hillary Clinton swap places with Uma in 'Kill Bill,' Vladimir Putin assume the unusual role of Holly Golightly in 'Breakfast in Ukraine' and South Korea's dictator become the maddest of all hatters in the twisted world of
'Jong-un Land.'
Bin Laden and Barack Obama star as the two divas in 'Burlesque,' which uses art from 'War Drags You Out,' another series from Saint Hoax that transformed political figures into beautified drag queens.
