Pop culture artist Kirk Demarais uses his skillful hands to produce color pencil portraits of some of our favorite fictional families from television and films.
Whether it’s a washed solid color or a red stage curtain, each realistic rendition is accompanied by a cheesy studio portrait backdrop.
His list of impressive and fun works range from commercial hit TV characters likeMad Mens Don Draper with his traditional nuclear family to eccentric indie film families like the Hoovers fromLittle Miss Sunshine.
Even cult favorites like the Bluth family fromArrested Developmentand the Weirs fromFreaks and Geeksmake the cut, to the delight of many pop culture enthusiasts.
Within the mix of Demarais' collection of awkward family portraits are commissioned works in which the artist includes whomever the client chooses to be in the portrait with the popular fictional family.
ActressKristen Wiigeven commissioned a portrait of fellowImogeneco-starBrian Petsosto be included with the Huxtables, which can be seen, below.
While the artist is acting like open to commissioned works, he also has selected prints of hisFilm Family Portraitson sale through Gallery 1988.
