I was searching for pictures of Morrissey & Robert smith for a halloween costume and found this absolutely banging art by Butcher Billy. I'm really interested in it, I feel like this work really resonated with my own practice - with links to different elements of pop culture all smashed together but it just works. He describes himself on instagram as a "pop culture butcher, looking for the perfect cut".

Things I am enjoying:
- subject matter, pop culture, films, comics, music etc - a range of different things so it's appealing to lots of audiences.
- block colour, striking style
- gentle bit of texture making it look 'retro', like an old comic book
- I'd buy these images on anything.
A selection of my favourite pieces:
Sometimes I feel a bit uncomfortable about doing a lot of fan art but my interests and the work I like are very pop culture based, so whats really wrong with making fan art as long as you make it awesome?
Long story short: THIS STUFF IS SO COOL
