California-based artist Alex Pardee has created a series of montrous versions of pop culture icons titled ‘Icans’ to voice his protests against SOPA and PIPA.

According to Pardee, he distorts popular pop culture figures like Superman, Batman and Garfield to portray creative freedom of expression.

Pardee writes in his blog on his use of ‘Icans’: "Whether SOPA passes or not, I will continue to take any licensed character, or pop culture icon and do whatever I want with it for art’s sake, because ICAN. Also, I just want to conduct an ongoing experiment to see if ICAN take any cool icon from pop culture and make it way shittier by “re-imagining” it. So far, much like Hollywood does most of the time, the experiment is a super fun success!”

It seems not even superheroes could be spared.
