Our friends over at Refinery29 tipped us off to iArtist London, a “company” that believes that “art should be for everyone,” and as a result, provides (relatively) easy-to-use looking kits for creating your own versions of famous works by contemporary British artists like Damien Hirst, Tracy Emin, Rachel Whiteread, Marc Quinn, and Banksy. (Update: It’s actually the final degree project of Naroa Lizar Redrado, a recent graduate of the University for the Creative Arts in Kent.) Click through to view the goods.
