Dollar Bills Turned Into Portraits Of American Icons

Why are presidents and political activists the only people who tend to get recognition on national currencies? In a series called American Iconomics, artist James Charles explored what dollar bills might look like if it was dedicated to the pop culture icons and famous characters who have shaped America’s, and the world’s, cultural evolution.

With what must have been incredibly careful and painstaking ink drawing work, the artist incorporated the familiar American presidents’ faces into his new creations, until their original faces are almost lost in new, unique artworks. Even the text at the bottom of each (real, authentic) bill is altered to carry a message together with his portrait drawing.

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw
