Swedish artist Andreas Englund
has created a series of paintings that examine what might happen if
supers weren’t granted the gift of eternal youth, as we’re accustomed
to seeing. They’re funny, and sometimes sweet. In them, a beloved
superhero on the wrong side of 40 just trying to get by in his twilight
years. Via: Empty Kingdom
“Humor can be the carrier of messages that are otherwise hard to convey. For me, it liberates my thoughts and ideas from pretentiousness while at the same time it opens doors to new routes and angles.”You can check out more of Englund’s work on his site, including a few more shots of our old friend here.
Those are some really well done paintings. I think that there should be more aged super heroes; complaining about their dodgy hip and getting meals on wheels. It would be brilliant :)
