Gay Icon Collages for Pride Month

"For #pridemonth I’m doing 30 days of #gay icons in collage portraits. First up: the effervescent #DorisDay..." Matt Hinrichs is a designer, artist, and collector living in Phoenix, Arizona. This year to celebrate Pride Month he created a different paper collage of a gay icon and posted it to Instagram every day. The results are pretty amazing. (Note: all links go to Instagram. Individual collages linked inside.)

2. RuPaul
3. Cass Elliott
4. Elton John
5. Diana Ross
6. Lucille Ball
7. James Dean

12. Judy Garland

Full disclosure: I've been a fan of Matt's art for years and have commissioned some illustrations from him in the past. Once when travelling in Arizona he was kind enough to meet up in person. I would've shared the collages even if I hadn't met him because I think they're pretty cool.
