Classical art is beautiful to look at, but some of us have a hard time relating to it. A digital artist on Tumblr named Lothlenan is changing that by turning some of fine art's most timeless pieces into geeky fantasy settings. So far, they've revamped 7 tableaux, inspired by fandoms like Sailor Moon, Adventure Time, and The Legend of Zelda. It's amazing how century-old paintings take on such a modern feel when combined with elements of Anime!
If you're a geek extraordinaire and can't even deal with how flipping cool these paintings are, you're in luck - Lothlenon currently operates a Redbubble store where they sell stunning prints of each design. Who wouldn't want an impressionist Totoro-à-la-Monet on their wall?
Check out all 7 made-over masterpieces below, and don't forget to vote for your favourite!

I really like the geek versions but totally disagree with your headline because they are emphatically NOT better! Different, cute, creative... but not better!

No it's not. Go check some paintings by the great masters in a museum and you'll see the amount of work, practice, talent, inspiration and knowledge it takes to produce such masterpieces. The ideas presented here might be more or less fun, but cannot be compared to the work, soul, care and artistry you can find in the original paintings, whether you like them or not. Plus, I've seen similar ideas but better executed. I'm not opposed to the idea, just please stop with those ridiculous titles.
