Artist Gerald Bear’s latest series of illustrations, titled Unconventional Heroes, reimagines some of the most iconic cars from Hollywood films and television. Taking the iconic white stripe of Starsky and Hutch’s Ford Gran Torino and grafting it on to a Fiat Panda (I expect that James May would be pleased). Or the classic Stars and Bars of the General Lee on a Renault 4. Check out more below and be sure to head over to his Facebook page and check more of his work.
