If you’ve ever come to the Dijital Fix store, you might’ve noticed this poster in the side display window. It’s a beautifully drawn dissection of the iPhone, à la Da Vinci, aptly named the “iSteamPhone,” complete with the trademark mirrored handwriting.
For a while, I had been wondering where else to find other ingenious works like this, and now the artist, Kevin Tong, has produced another piece – and I think maybe this time, it’s a little closer to people’s hearts. Below is “Da Vinci’s Mario,” a drawing of Super Mario in the womb, based on Da Vinci’s “Foetus in the Womb” on the right. I think homages to Da Vinci require a bit of discretion and extreme accuracy to detail because his level of genius is untouchable – the man was a wiz in (ok, ready?): architecture, sculpture, painting, multiple fields of science, and engineering. Normally, I’d advise not to mess with Da Vinci, or if you do, make sure you know your shit. I think it’s safe to say that Kevin Tong definitely does.
