Although SOPA has been shot down (for now), artist Alex Pardee recently created a new series of artwork, entitled Icans, which re-imagines some of pop culture’s most iconic characters.

Explains Pardee: “Why am I calling them “Icans”? Glad you didn’t really ask, but I’m telling you anyway. Well, because whether SOPA passes or not, I will continue to take any licensed character, or pop culture icon and do whatever I want with it for art’s sake, because ICAN. Also, I just want to conduct an ongoing experiment to see if ICAN take any cool icon from pop culture and make it way shittier by “re-imagining” it. So far, much like Hollywood does most of the time, the experiment is a super fun success!”
