I love Brandon Bird. He’s not just an artist who uses lots and lots of pop culture (because Christ knows we’re drowning in artists who do this), he’s got a great sense of humor. His stuff doesn’t simply reference pop culture stuff, he plays with it and what it means. I’ve been to too many pop cult art shows that are just a dozen lewd or violent paintings of 80s toy characters – it’s like The Family Guy, not clever, simply ‘edgy’ while being referential.
Bird’s latest bit of greatness is the Nicolas Cage Adventure Set – more or less the Nic Cage Colorforms. It comes with three different Cages, a Nic Cage astronaut head, a ghost, a parrot, a sword and an ice cream cone. And it has two different backdrops, with one being a dungeon and the other a beach. Honestly, the only thing Bird is missing is multiple wigs to stick on your Cages.
I love the conceit here, and I love the silliness. And I really want one. Click here to order yours.

Awesome, but where's the Nic Cage Teddy-Bear-with-lifelike-Nic-Cage-head? Realistic kicking action! Caution: Fire Hazard!!
earned some of my respect Devin, because I f*ckin hate family guy, its lazy lame ass comedy, and its made worse by all its rabid retarded fans. can you please do a Devins advocate on famiy guy, and take a swings at american dad and cleveland show while your at it. just want to clarify, I realy would like to see a devins advocate about family guy.
God, I hope somebody actually sends one of these to Cage. Out of all people, he'd probably appreciate it the most.
I love Brandon Bird. I have a print of his fucking amazing painting of a sperm whale, a giant squid and a T. rex fighting in the middle of a lightning storm.
