Lollipops by Craig Robinson

Posted on October 13th, 2007 in Links by Vivid Muse

Craig Robinson is an English artist that created cartoons of famous rock stars using round flat heads and the distinct hair and clothing styles of these icons. The simplicity is brilliant, who needs faces?I had fun guessing the identities, but if you are impatient you can “mouse over” the images for the names.

(No, the mouse over option doesn’t work here. I’m low-tech and Mr. High Tech is elsewhere. It does work on the Lollipops site, no worries!)
