You're used to seeing Disney princesses in pretty dresses in fairylands far far away. However, thanks to Astor Alexander, a freelance illustrator from San Diego, Califonia, you are about to find out that these fictional ladies look wonderful in a completely different setting, too.
"Noir Princesses" is an awesome illustration series with a pretty self-explanatory title. It features - you've guessed it! - Disney princesses as badass noir characters. It's a "stylish" crime genre, emphasizing cynical attitudes and sexual motivations. Noir fiction protagonists are usually self-destructive, dealing with a corrupt legal, political or other systems. Their stories often lead to lose-lose situations, too.
Astor has perfectly captured the aesthetic and atmosphere of the genre while preserving the distinct personalities of the princesses. Scroll down to meet them and tell us what you think in the comments.

Stunning work, just fantastic. I normally avoid the 'Disney princess as...." posts, but your artwork is just magical.
"High Sea Robbery"
Not only would I read these books, I would love these as prints for my house!
I only clicked on this to say "can we stop now with the reimagined Disney princesses please!" Does that make me a troll? Ohmigawd I've never trolled before. Can I put this on my resume? HI MOM!
Great, I would like to read these books... especially "Miss White and the unlawful seven"
They look really badass. BTW, were there really so many people smoking on 1940’s mystery novel covers?
because EVERYBODY was smoking at the time - especially the "badasses" , have a look at movies from the 30s and 40s... :-)

The most awesome portrayal of Disney Princesses I have seen so far in this site. Love it.
Instead of the normal real action movies they're making now I want these!
Are you fukcing kidding with this? AGAIN with the Disney princesses? COME OOOON! Now do the exact same with Pokemons. Jesus Christ almighty.
I actually thought these were interesting and well done, but maybe they could do them with sad clowns. That's something I haven't seen.
