If you scrolled so far then thank you for not panicking and leaving this page :) I've heard many different opinions about these paintings - some people think they are funny, others are creeped out but I hope you've enjoyed them.
 
So how I came up with this weird idea?
 
One of my clients is a London based pest control company and, as you may guess, this business niche is not the most appealing one. I had to come up with an idea for viral content somehow related to bugs. One day, I stumbled upon a painting of a mantis wearing a dress and then it hit me - let's take the most famous classical portraits and recreate them with insects.
 
This was never done before (probably because it's too weird) so I decided to give it a try. Eight hours of Photoshop work later these "masterpieces" were finished and I can honestly say I've never had so much fun while using this program.
