This Artist Reimagined Disney Princesses As Badass Film Characters

Astor Alexander is a San Diego-based freelance illustrator who, in his latest project, decided to recreate classic Disney princesses in a unique and badass way. The project is called "Noir Princesses" and features Disney princesses as characters of nine different noir movies/books. The princesses are no longer the frail damsels in distress you remember - this time they're badass and as far from frail as you can imagine. The author was inspired by the 'film noir' style of movies, popular from the early 1940's to the late 1950's, that often featured gangsters, corruption and lots of cigarettes. Check out the badass princesses in the gallery below! More info: Society6 | behance | Instagram | tumblr
