Religious statues in superhero costumes

In a series called Hagiographies, an Italian artist called Igor Scalisi Palminteri reinterprets the pantheon of saints by repainting religious statuettes as superheroes. They're really very well done.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

This is cool, reminds me of the work of Jason Yarmosky, which is even cooler because it’s real art. Not this 21st century “new aesthetic” bullshit where you take other people’s work and fart on it a little and call it art. Thanks a lot, Andy Warhol. /rant
