20 Iconic Rockstars Reimagined As 1930s Cartoons From Artist Kev Craven
Imagine if the world of rock and roll collided with the whimsical inkblots of the 1930s cartoon era. Kev Craven, a brilliantly quirky artist hailing from the historic city of York, England, has done just that. With a long-standing obsession for the “rubber hose” style of animation—think stretchy arms, bouncy walks, and exaggerated expressions—Kev has reimagined iconic rockstars as if they were prancing about in a 1930s cartoon.
This unique fusion brings a whole new meaning to “classic rock,” transforming our beloved guitar shredders and drum bashers into hilariously endearing cartoon characters that seem like they’ve escaped from an old-school animation reel.
So, let’s dive into this fantastical world where the legends of rock n’ roll party like it’s 1939, and witness how Kev Craven turns rockstar swagger into rubber hose stagger!
