California Artist mixes Sci-fi with U.S Government

San Francisco artist Jason Heuser has created some interesting pictures combining some of the United States's greatest presidents with my favorite genre; Science fiction. You can visit his deviantART page @ www.sharpwriter.deviantart.com 
He has recently gained a lot of attention. 13 of his art entries have been featured on FOX News. Here are a few of those entries..
Richard M. Nixon Fighting a Saber Tooth Tiger
This one is very interesting. For one thing, this makes the whole deal with Nixon Lying seem to be no big deal, he battled a saber tooth tiger for goodness sake! How many presidents get to say that? Obviously, this is just an illustration, but I think it gives "bravery" a whole new meaning. So, Richard Nixon. I love how the artist can make the character really cool and awesome, while keeping the characteristics in the character.

Zeus vs. Benjamin Franklin
I've seen this one before. I guess now we Know the real story behind Ben Franklin's invention of electricity. I mean really? Tying a key to a kite and somehow he experiences that 1 in a billion chance of lightning striking a key? This is way more realistic.
:)

This one is very cool. It combines the world of Tron, with the 18th century. Even though the first Tron looked like it was maid in the 18th century. Here we see Paul Revere riding a lightcycle. This is probably a lot faster than the horse that he rode. Also, I love that the destination is Lexington, (obviously, but that its stated right on the grid. If you look in the top left, it says that his patriotism levels are really high.


Talk about creativity. Anyway, check out SharpWriter's webpage, he has so many other really good pieces of art.

See you guys soon!
