A bold reinterpretation of the iconic American $100 bill, Franklin Reimagined transforms a global symbol of wealth into a hand-rendered statement piece.
Captain Casual strips the currency down to its raw essence — muting the traditional greens into warm, neutral tones and sketching Benjamin Franklin with a raw, almost illustrative edge. The brushwork feels intentional and imperfect, creating a tension between structure and rebellion. It’s not just money — it’s commentary.
This piece challenges the viewer to question value:
Is it paper?
Is it power?
Or is it perception?
By softening the palette and emphasizing the hand-drawn aesthetic, Captain Casual turns a rigid financial emblem into art that feels human. The familiar layout remains intact, but the energy shifts — from transactional to expressive.
A conversation starter.
A symbol flipped.
Currency turned culture.
