    50 Iconic Pop Culture Eyes Painted Like They’re Staring Directly Into Your Soul

    Every once in a while, an artist comes along and does something so weird and so brilliant that you suddenly need it in your home, even if you have no free wall space and your partner has already begged you to stop buying stuff you don't need. Jason Edmiston is that artist. His series 'Eyes Without a Face' is exactly what it sounds like. A collection of hyper detailed, up close and deeply expressive paintings of famous eyes from across pop culture. No full faces, no context, just the windows to the fictional soul, staring you down like you owe them money.

    And these paintings are gorgeous. Terrifying. Hilarious. Unexpectedly emotional. You have Hannibal Lecter giving refined menace. You have Alex from A Clockwork Orange serving chaotic energy. You have Batman doing the world's most judgmental squint. You have Cookie Monster looking like he just saw a tray of fresh baked chocolate chips and ascended to a higher plane of existence. Edmiston captures texture, light, fear, joy, chaos, and every micro emotion in between. It is wild how much story you can fit into two eyeballs.

    So here they are. Fifty pairs of eyes you will absolutely recognize, painted by a man who clearly understands that the quickest way to reconnect adults with their childhood obsessions is to stare directly at them.
