Talented Photoshop artist Andhika Muksin has been fascinated with Disney for as long as he can remember. His passion is photoshopping Disney princesses into celebrity photos, but recently he has been changing things up.

Instead of merely inserting the princesses into reality, Andhika has decided to bring reality into their lives. How, you ask? By replacing their usual surroundings and glamorous lifestyles with the very things that fill our own mundane lives.

"My history with Disney goes way back," said Andhika. "It all started with a VHS tape of Alice in Wonderland that I received as a birthday gift when I was about 5 or 6. I was obsessed with it. I would watch it almost every single day after school. Not long after that, the Disney Renaissance era started, and my obsession became a bit out of control, cementing my status as a Disney fanboy."

He went on to explain, "I think that Disney characters blend into our everyday lives so well because many people, including myself, grew up with them. These characters are constantly revitalized through a wide array of innovations, from Broadway shows and Disneyland rides to merchandise and now live-action remakes. These elements have brought them to iconic status. So I guess they blend so well with our everyday lives because they are so well known."
