Comic book artist Frederik Peeters takes an unusual approach to portraiture. He takes famous deceased figures from history and casts them as the living dead. Check out our gallery.
Peeters is the author and illustrator of the autobiographical graphic novel Blue Pills, but here he turns his artistic talents to the macabre. His portraits reference the circumstances of his subjects’ death, such as John Lennon’s assassination and Bela Lugosi being buried in a Dracula costume. The results are sometimes in questionable taste, but offer a different view of figures usually remembered from iconic photographs and films.
