Cool Stuff: Super Mario/ They Live Propaganda by Fernando Reza

The fact that John Carpenter 's They Live is a commentary on consumption [1], subliminal messages and propaganda isn't some kind of radical statement. In fact, it's the opposite of that. But when you put Nintendo's Super Mario in the mix, things get a little bit more interesting. That's what artist [2] Fernando Reza has done [3] with a set of previously sold out posters and, after the jump, you can check them out along with a poster for They Live and another one with Mario that sort of ties the idea together. Here are the images by Fro Design Co. [4] All are available right now at the below links.
