French Artist Recreated Famous Vintage American Ads With Pop Culture Icons, And They Are Amazing!

 

 

Each celebrity is paired with a retro advert referencing their career or personality, whether that’s Daft Punk playing poker for a ‘Get Lucky’ casino poster or Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat it!’ transformed into a poster for mosquito spray. Other cameos include Rhianna and Drake in a beauty ad entitled ‘Take Care,’ Amy Winehouse advertising ‘Back to Black’ coffee and Pharrel and his ‘Happy’ Toothpaste.

 

David told Adweek that he had explored the project as of way of showcasing the fine line between art and the consumerism. “I like the shift between vintage and modern pop culture, because these days the border between art and commercial is very small, and artists work their images like brands do. ... It takes me one or two hours to create an ad. I search for the ads I like and then retouch in the artists and sometimes modify the layout, create a logo, etc.”
