aleXsandro Palombo Activist aleXsandro Palombo is at it again.
The contemporary artist who has been behind Simpsons-inspired artwork in the past has released his new art series titled "Hello Boys," and this one features Disney princes we've all grown to love—but with an adult twist.
In honor of International World AIDS Day today, Palombo created artwork that shows various Disney princes—like Aladdin, Prince Eric and Hercules to name a few—posing half-naked in boxers with the AIDS ribbon pattern, and grabbing their junk with one hand while holding a condom in the other hand to promote safe sex practices that could prevent transmission of HIV and AIDS.
"The teenagers have not experienced the years of the emergency. For a lot of them the AIDS remains something abstract and so they underestimate the risks of contagions," Palombo said in a statement.
"There is a lack of education in the families also on this matter. Life is precious and we have to protect it every day. That's what we have to teach to the youngster. And also remind them to always use condoms!"
This isn't the first time he's been inspired by Disney characters. Recently, Palombo created pictures of Disney princesses, and other popular female characters like Marge Simpson and Lois Griffin, with bruises, cuts, and blood on their faces as part of his #Coward campaign to raise awarness about domestic violence against women.
He also created the #Survivor campaign, which had Disney princesses and other popular female characters with scars on their chests after mastectomies to show that women are still beautiful after surgery.
