It’s hard being a villain or a superhero. Imagine having to complete the tasks everyday people do while also saving the world or creating havoc. Based in Ottawa, Canada, Picard loves pop culture. So much so that he uses his collectible figures and statues and puts them in pretty mundane scenarios. His vision takes the likes of Darth Vader needing to use a urinal or pictures the juvenile actions of Batman and Superman. The photographer shoots the toy in real locations and digitally retouches them later. Picard’s series does not take the magic away from these larger-than-life characters, it makes them even more endearing.
