Description
Brought to you from the minds of Wil "Genius at making people cry" Woods and Tyrine "watches too much anime" Carver. xDAnyhow, he wanted to do a parody of that famous Boulevard of Broken Dreams painting by Helnwein with James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart and Elvis and all those dead celebs. So we came up with the anime version of those dead characters who are so famous, even after death, that just recalling their faces makes us a little bit nostalgic TwT
Left to right: Hughes from Fullmetal, L from Death Note, Aerith from FF, and Ace from One Piece.
Enjoy.
Note: this is the 11x17" version for the small prints, there is a bigger version.
Second note: Before you say anything, yes I know Helnwein's Boulevard painting was a parody of Hopper's Nighthawks. What we're parodying here is the death of celebrity/iconic figures as portrayed by Helnwein as a reaction to that painting, not Hopper's painting itself.

I know that painting, Helnwein always tries to fit Elvis Presley, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and The Three Stooges into every classic American painting.Β He ships James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.Β Rock Hudson and James Dean would be more accurate

Creative, I'll give you that much.
I do get the vibe that it'll be much better in black/white or sepia, though

Spike's death was never confirmed, only implied, therefore I'm under the delusion that he is alive. xD

I also remember Spike. I like the thought of him not dying, though that make my tears of manly heartbreak a little useless....IΒ swear I didn't bawl like a girl. Like I said, it was tears of manly heartbreak. Manly.
