Rowan Atkinson Photoshopped to Famous Portrait Paintings

I’ve been a fan of Rowan Atkinson since the 1980’s when I tuned a far away public television show in late one night and discovered Black Adder.

I have since known him as Mr. Bean and Johnny English. But my favorite is Black Adder.

I have collected most of the episodes and seen all of them. Atkinson is a fascinating man and recently posed for these parodies of famous portraits that were created by caricature artist, Rodney Pike.
