I always admire people who show dedication to a specific facet of pop culture. Mark Bennet combines that dedication with real talent. An avid tv watcher, he takes the homes of our favorite TV stars (which are sets) and lays them out as real homes with real architectural drawings. I have only seen his stuff online, but I look forward to one day going to his art shows.

Dig it, retroist! Mr. Bennet has a book featuring some of these designs! It’s out of print, but used copies of the paperback are affordable.
