These hysterical illustrations are the result of an unlikely marriage between Rowan Atkinson's face-pulling and history's most iconic artworks.
Rowan Atkinson is pictured gurning, smirking and grinning as his face replaces the dour smile of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa and other classic masterpieces.
The Blackadder and Mr Bean star has been included in OVER 30 different portraits – which its creator says can take him between three hours and TWO MONTHS to photoshop.
Atkinson-enthusiast Rodney Pike, 52, is the man who has BEAN photoshopping his comedy hero into the classic portraits.

Mr Pike – who caught the Mr Bean bug while living in the UK for three years during the 90s – says that carefully blending Blackadders' gurns into a revered artwork is "good therapy".
Atkinson-enthusiast Rodney Pike says he has spent over TWO MONTHS on one of portrait edits [CATERS]
He said: "First of all, I love art and especially the Masters.
"I think it just adds to the absurdity when working with such serious source material and Rowan Atkinson can make any situation funny no matter how absurd.
"I now have a collection of over 30 now.
"He's always lots of fun and it is good therapy and a welcome break to the stresses of work sometime"
The illustrator – from South Louisiana, in the United States – started photoshopping Rowan Atkinson four years ago.
Mr Pike said: "The one thing I make sure I do on these fun pieces is to do just that, have fun and learn along the way.
"This kind of work is where I develop new techniques and experiment with Photoshop".
