What would He-Man look like if he was really into fashion and indie rock? What if Skeletor was an American Apparel model living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn? What if She-Ra was an art school dropout that spent her time bar-hopping in the Lower East Side?For the past few months artists Adrian Riemann has been creating a master work that answers these questions. Essentially, Riemann has remixed the characters of the popular 1980s "Masters of the Universe" cartoon series as highfalutin, Justice and Kid Cudi listening, circa 2009 hipsters. On top of that, he styled the characters in designer clothing as if this was a fashion spread in a magazine.
A hand drawn lookbook? A wardrobe re-imagining of a classic fable? Maybe it's a little bit of both but we only have one issue with this--where's Orko? [Via Behance]

these are not purely hand-drawn. I vaguely remember a stencil thing with body parts to create characters from my childhood. These poses are undeniable.
