I Transform Wwii Headlines Into Pieces Of Historic Art (12 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

Military artist and combat photographer, Corban Lundborg, was so captivated by a book of WWII headlines that he couldn’t help but get creative.

Corban works for the U.S. Air Force as a combat photojournalist. While studying military imagery, he came across an old book with hundreds of pages of WWII-era press from around the world. He found relevance in the 1040’s headlines and wanted to share them with the world. He decided to take to painting to tell those stories.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
