Retro Superhero Art by Greg Guillemin

December 7, 2011 by The Comic Book Critic

Many people have an idea of what a superhero poster should look like and French artist Grégoire Guillemin has given us his own interpretation of that vision.

Guillemin has created a series of prints that depict superheroes in a minimalist, retro-modern way using many different styles, including art deco, Bauhaus, pixelation, and paper. In addition to superheroes, you can find other prints related to music and pop culture on his web store, where you can get his artwork in many different forms, from art prints and stretched canvases to hoodies and iPhone cases.
