We can talk about bad episodes, crazy theories, and even the differences in its dubbing, but if there's one thing we can't deny about The Simpsons, it's their potential as a source of inspiration for other artists.

Tim Doyle and UnReal Estate

Who is Tim Doyle? An illustrator from Austin, Texas, where he has lived since 1999. In 2009 he created the art portal Nakatomi Inc., and among his client list we find names like Marvel, Dark Horse, Cartoon Network, Metallica (yes, the band), and "Weird Al" Yankovic. The Springfield images are part of his UnReal Estate series, which also includes images inspired by other universes.

Get the Postcards

As expected, his works have sold out in various formats, but I think the most effective for anyone wanting this Springfield collection is to purchase the postcard versions (5x7 inches), at a very reasonable $15 (does not include shipping).
