Art of the Divas

August 24, 2009 9 Comments

Posters promoting the upcoming VH1 Divas reboot hit the streets of Los Angeles and New York City today, plastered on billboards and bus shelters.

London graffiti artist Maximilian Wiedemann was commissioned by the cable network to paint portraits of Kelly Clarkson, Adele, Leona Lewis, and Miley Cyrus, plus one surprise Diva to be revealed later. (Jordin Sparks also is joining the Divas party, but doesn’t rate this artistic treatment.)

Widemann’s works will also be featured in advertisements in Rolling Stone, USA Today, and other pubs, so don’t fret if you don’t live on either coast. Plus, you can see ’em all up close here, anyway.

While I do love me some Kelly, of the four, Adele’s my favorite. Can’t go wrong with the Union Jack, and real divas know how to rock a crown. (Still waiting for someone to convince me why Miley’s invited to this celebration.)

VH1 Divas premieres live on September 17 at 9/8 Central.
