You may remember Luke Radl’s reworking of Norman Rockwell’s The Runaway, from last month, but have you seen these other creative modernizations? Art director Irene Gallo over at Tor.com put together a fantastic list of works that reinterpret classic works of art. These new pieces by various artists all reflect science fictional and fantasy themes through the inclusion of several pop culture icons. Favored characters amongst these artists include Star Wars personalities like C3PO and comic book heroes from the Marvel family.
