Alex Gross is a full-time artist who is absolutely fascinated by old photos and vintage pictures, especially those with strong hints of the Victorian Era - a time period in which the artist confesses he would like to have lived himself.
There is just something intrinsically beautiful about vintage photos, and Alex Gross has surely done full justice to these old images from the 1870s. Using oil and acrylic the artist has breathed a new life into them, transforming the people of yesterday into incredible vintage superheroes and famous characters of pop culture.
Below, you will find a wide selection of the artist's character design works which we hope you will find enjoyable, so scroll down and see these interesting photos for yourself!
