Mash-Up: PHARAPOPS



PHARAPOPS project by Zaven Najjar is collection of illustrations of pop culture icons such as Snoop Dogg and Audrey Hepburn in the style of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Sure their architectural feats are impressive (and still standing) and yes their irrigation systems were marvellous - but they were communicating with emoticons and portrait-like selfies thousands of years before we started doing it. That, and they worshipped some humans as though they were gods.

Just take this art series from Zaven Najjar. His series of pop culture stars illustrated in a hieroglyphic-style look just as comfortable on a Pinterest board as they would on the walls of an ancient tomb.
