Alex Solis shared his inspiration for the illustrations: "Pop culture shapes our society and our lives. In this series, I explore pop culture icons in an alternate reality that reflects our current society. I hope to help people see things in a new way." point of view or at least enjoy the nostalgic feelings and laugh to brighten their day."
Alex lives in Wisconsin and spends his days painting under his own brand, Oddworx. He was born into a family of Mexican immigrants, brought up in strictness and modesty, but gradually adapted to the new culture and society. Drawing has always been a comfort zone for him; art has become his voice.
