Artist Reimagines 20 Rock Legends As Cartoon Characters From The 1930s

Kev Craven is a cartoonist from the city of York in England, who is known for his fascination with the aesthetics of 1930s animations, also known as “rubber hose.” He experiments with this style a lot by drawing famous characters and, this time, famous rock stars in the form of cartoon characters.

Bored Panda reached out to Kev, and in the interview, the artist shared what initially sparked his interest in perfecting his skills in such an old-school style: “I’ve been drawing since a very young age and always had a taste for older cartoons of the 1930s and ’40s. Growing up, I could recognize that there was something more appealing to me about the cartoons of that era, and I wanted to learn to replicate it.”
