90s Cartoons as School Portraits
Fifty cartoons reimagined as realistic portraits with the help of neural-networks.
Using Artbreeder and Photoshop I’ve created fifty fake school photos. The portraits and clothing are inspired by obscure, split-second references as well as flashbacks / flashforward / dream sequences in 90s cartoons.
All characters are aged as if they were late High School/ University.

Print it small for your wallet, or hang it in the background of your zoom calls and maybe strangers will think you’re a fully-matured adult with children and responsibilities.
Each file is 1600x2000 pixels. Good enough for an 8x10 at 200dpi.
