Ben Franklin and the supreme ruler of the gods Zeus face off in Jason Heuser’s new historical mash up. 11” x 17” and 24” x 36” prints are now available at his Etsy store. (Full Size)

“In 1752 before Ben Franklin invented Pizza, Gameboy, the iPad2 or Mexican food he was contemplating how to conquer electricity. Being the genius he was, he decided go get it at its source, this being Zeus. Strapping himself to a kite, and equipping some homemade lightning claws he ascended through the clouds and into the realm of the Gods to battle it out with Zeus. This is a painting capturing the exact moment the battle started.”
