Artist Jon Hansen walked into a second-hand store, saw a pile of awful Thomas Kinkade rip-offs, and had an idea: to make them better. By adding some Street Fighter. And Space Harrier.
They're part of a larger series called "Cross-Cultural Contamination", which also stars Godzilla and Cobra Commander. So, yeah. Awesome. You can even buy the originals, if the one you want is still around, and not sitting above the fireplace of some cashed-up nostalgic drug dealer with a sense of irony.
