feature: artists flex their skills in 17-year-old autumn massaquo’s #stylechallenge

Okay, but who doesn’t love a viral trend that shows off black excellence? The #StyleChallenge hashtag, created by 17-year-old Autumn Massaquo, a student from London. After her version of the challenge, where the artist sketched stylisticlly different versions of cartoon illustration next to her own, went viral, it didn’t take long for others to catch on. Borrowing from some of the most recognizable cartoon styles in pop culture, artists depict their original characters in classic and infamous styles, like The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, Adventure Time, Steven’s Universe, Powerpuff Girls, etc. Check out some of my personal favorites down below, and follow the #StyleChallenge tag.
