Unsettling Truth About Popular Animation Characters As Told By An Artist

by Jesse

Using pop culture icons as a starting point, American illustrator Alex Solis has become a master of the genre. He is a maestro at reversing these popular figures into something out of the ordinary.

As the name goes, "Unpopular Culture" is a series that might wreck your childhood memories. The talented artist chose to take characters from well-known entertainment corporations such as Nickelodeon, Disney, Nintendo, among others, and give them an odd and bizarre twist.

Alex's illustrations are anything but normal, and they will leave you with a faint uneasy sensation. As you scroll, you'll find yourself unable to turn away from the unsettling images of characters you've grown to know and love all your life.

Throughout the years, Alex has posted a wide variety of pop culture-themed paintings on his website, dating back to the early 2000s. After realizing at an early age how difficult it would be to make ends meet as a penniless artist, Alex opted to focus on web design and development instead.

The knowledge of design and code has aided him in his artistic endeavors by allowing him to produce work that is more visually appealing and elegant.

Explore the mind of Alex Solis by scrolling down to see his dark, unexpected, and odd pop-culture perspectives.
