Little Fish Design

London-based artist and designer Toby Holmes of Little Fish Design, explores the connection between Art and Advertising by digitally melding classic painted portraits with snack packaging. 

Titled The Product Placement Project, the ongoing series of digitally created art prints explores the connection between Art and Advertising.

Formal portraits by such artists as Velázquez, Goya, Watteau, Boucher and Fragonard become humorous when the lush gowns are made from bubble gum wrappers and biscuit packaging as opposed to stiff silks and satins. Adding to the surrealness, the heads and wigs of the subjects are topped off with fun little hats.
